One area where Flash was incredible - Adobe Air for desktop apps.
Seriously, there was no better/easier way to visit a site, download an app, and have it push out updates. It was beautiful.
No other cross platform solution comes close to AIR in that regard.
- reiichiroh 11y agoDoesn't this mean Adobe Air is a huge risk as well because it's based on Flash?
