What's left out is any discussion of the difference between Flash's security 
policy (by default, open access to your hardware, granted because you 
intentionally installed their plug-in), and most browser's security policy (by 
default, _no_ access to your hardware, because there's no telling where the 
Javascript on that web page has been).

Once you recognize that distinction, most of the other differences just fall 
out.  It's not clear at all that Flash can keep up that default policy.  At 
least one major vendor refuses to deploy Flash on its platforms, in part 
because of that default policy.
