Actually, it's not on EVERY windows machine. For many companies that build a single image of Windows they choose for Windows Media to not be installed. Plus, I remove it from all of my servers that I build. Some people may not, but I do. I leave Flash Player on that machine though and Windows Servers probably account for a decent percentage of "computer connected to the internet".

Do you really believe that only 42% of internet connected PCs have Windows Media Player? I can see Keith's point... though I *DO* believe that the flash player numbers are pretty accurate.. I mean, so many web sites use it, and it's VERY easy to install. Although I did find some machines required a reboot to install Flash Player 7. That was annoying. - Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
