If they're both similar in this way, why did Flash win, or at least stay alive, while Java lost, to the point where most people can be told to turn it off and won't notice the difference?
- khuey 14y agoBecause Flash plays streaming video well and Java doesn't?
- mattmanser 14y agoOnly way to watch a video
- solistice 14y agoHTML 5 video?
- robryan 14y agoWe are only just now hitting the point where you could use HTML 5 video only for a broad reaching consumer site. Once this is no longer an issue flash will probably drop off a lot more. I assume only having up to IE8 on XP is going to be an issue to full html5 video adoption for some time yet.
- solistice 14y agoI just found out from W3S that there's still 19.1% of users using XP. I see where that could become problematic.
- tracker1 14y agoOnly way with 98% (at peak) market availability... Also, the tools for working with flash (for creative content) are better than those for Java.
