Agree completely, but at least here in the UK a number of the major broadcasters, for example the BBC, have settled on flash for their streaming, and "catch-up" TV services. Most people I know find this seriously one of those "killer apps". I'm able to watch on my Nokia N96 phone, Nintendo WII and 2 Windows PC (one 2 years old, the other about 6-7 years old), but sadly not on my 3yr old linux laptop. At work I know colleagues who cite this as one reason they can't switch to linux. Now as a sw engineer and *nix user for around 23 years I find it a superb platform for my day job, but I can understand why this is also an issue I wish adobe had a more efficient implementation.
