I really don't want to turn this into some flamebait thread, but it sounds like MikeMD has never used a Mac in his life. Apple's software isn't perfect, as if any company's software is.

But when you consider the alternative which is Microsoft, which is known for "Blue-screen of death" in its operating systems what you're saying is ridiculous. And saying Safari is crap when Internet Explorer has a reputation for being full of security holes and not following web standards. I really feel like "What point are you trying to make?"

Anyway...

It's pretty obvious why Apple and Adobe haven't resolved their differences. And I never expect Flash to be on iPhone or iPad. HTML 5 can do every web related thing Flash does, in a couple years it probly won't make much difference.
