Hi, Actually, these are someout old/out-of-date posts at this point.
Since then, the page has been redesigned, a FAQ has been posted clarifying, etc. The vast majority (over 95%) of folks who get the Flash Player never see this page. This is something you control. If you use the free Flash Player detection kit, or the same functionality built into Flex, you can "transparently" deploy the Flash Player to your end-users, without them ever coming to this site. The only folks who come to this page are people who choose to. We will never bundle anything with the Flash Player installer and are committed to improving the options such as the detection kit to make sure you can deploy to your end customers in as simple and seamless a manner as possible.
