Quote - ...perhaps you could be more specific to tell us what's wrong with Flash.?

First off I should state that I don't have P8, or know anything about it's GUI. My hatred of Flash pre-dates P8 by a long way, and has nothing to do with P8. To my mind Flash is just another one of those dysfunctional propriety formats like QuickTime, that use kluncky software to produce poor results that the user has little control over, and, most irritating of all, that Microsoft, numerous web site, and a few applications, go to extraordinary lengths to force upon me when I don't want anything to do with it. No one tries to coerce me to use JPEG, MPEG, or PGN, so why am I constantly coerced (eg constant pop-pups) to use the crappy Flash format?

My dislike of Flash is based on two points, its coercive promotion, and my opinion that it does not do anything that other formats can't do better.
