Thanks Nicolas. It sounds like what you are saying is that your vm might be more appropriate as a projector like tool than as a browser plugin where you have to assume that the plugin is there or that the user will be willing to download it. This sounds like a good and reasonable goal.

But creating a full totally compatible player (which it would have to be) seems like an almost impossible task, even if money was *infinite*. You would have to get every nuance and every bug replicated in exactly the same way. I see replacing the flash player as a common plugin with an open source, or closed source effort by *anyone* as impossible. The reason for this is that since the official flash player is already free, who would want to replace it with an open source one that will have "bugs" or "incompatibilities" for no clear client side benefit.
