Probably the saddest news I've heard all day. This gives web/application/browser developers yet another excuse not to move HTML standards forward to capture the flash functionality.
I was honestly hoping that Microsoft would have put a stake in the ground regarding flash, and not carried it into their RT platform at the very least.

Adobe added substancial improvements to the flash player and it will be embedded directly in Internet explorer , like Chrome does. For Windows 8, we worked with Adobe to include a version of Flash that is optimized for touch , performance, security, reliability, and battery life.
- Ensorceled 14y agoDid you reply to the right comment? This is seems to completely miss the point they were making ...
- eridius 14y agoAdobe promised that a well-performing Flash on mobile devices would be coming any day now, for several years. It never materialized. Forgive me if I don't believe that they've finally solved it for Windows 8 tablets.
- melling 14y agoNot so sure about that. I think iOS and Google have over 90% market share in mobile.
- Samuel_Michon 14y agoI think you meant 'iOS and Android'. Google's phones have very little market share.
- goggles99 14y agoPerhaps it will create further competition for HTML5 so it will get up off it's ass and innovate. You could do everything that html5 promises in Flash 8 years ago. Never should it be accepted that a technology should win simply because it is an open standard (whatever that really means).
