>The player itself has not been a source of revenue for Adobe for quite some time Google pays lots of money for Adobe to auto opt-in Flash installs with Chrome

  I was not aware of that. Do you have any details on that arrangement? I don't see any record of that in any of their earning reports for the last two years. My understanding of that arrangement is that it is a mutually beneficial relationship that guarantees that Chrome users have the latest version of Flash (and Chrome is thus more secure) and the Flash Player update adoption happens faster. It makes very little sense to me that Google would pay Adobe for that since Adobe benefits just as much as Google.
