Is that a Flash Player or a Flex framework thing?
Both are pretty slow. Flex is marginally faster.
Flex is marginally faster than light

#82Their new slogan should be "Flash: at least you're still locked into it for the next half decade if you want to support IE 8."
Or if you need features that are still not present in HTML5. Flash is used for more than playing videos and simple games.
I would really like to see something like Grooveshark in HTML5.

Rely is a fair word to use. It would be sensible to say that these enterprises also rely on IIS, Apache, Microsoft Word, Excel, Photoshop or a long list of other software that they likely rely on. None of which would dismantle their interests if they disappeared. But, I suppose you don't get any upvotes for mentioning any of those.
> IIS, Apache, Microsoft Word, Excel, Photoshop I can see the enterprise use case for all of those except perhaps the last. I doubt 98% of enterprises rely on Photoshop. What is the enterprise use case for Flash again?
> I doubt 98% of enterprises rely on Photoshop.
True, although those who do rely on it could factor in another way of getting the job done. My point is not directed at the total % use, rather the reliance of the software at all.

I would venture to assume it would be the same as video distribution, podcasts, ads, pdfs or any other format to distribute content.

The case for enterprise software use (especially for content) pretty much applies universally.
Trendy hate tends to be very specific.

#84I was surprised to see that only 70% of web games use flash. Anyone have any idea on what's in the remaining 30%?
You'd be surprised how much Java there is.
