I don't think it will make a difference in terms of how Flash evaluates
against other technologies in the case of new development. However,
people may well choose to stopping using Flash as opposed to making
changes to their site to continue using it. For example, there are
sites that make use of Flash, but not _javascript_.

And BTW, the assertion that all technologies currently implemented as
plug-ins will be affected is incorrect. Microsoft or any browser vendor
for that matter, can choose to incorporate the technology directly into
the browser instead of as a plug-in.
