That's such an uncharitable reading I don't really know where to start. It's a bad decision because its only real-world consequence is to entrench Flash even further. It does that by ignoring the state of play of video content, which is what could have driven the change to HTML5. To those guys it's as though they removed support for JPEG, frankly. What's more, there are real, sensible, pragmatic arguments against doing this, and they don't all boil down to "wah but I has iPad". If anything, the iOS users are going to be absolutely fine out of this, because they're already where people with video content need them to be. The only losers are people who would like HTML5's video tag to replace Flash as widely as possible. That's why Adobe is delighted.
