Not sure how I feel about the company that makes an OS forcing users to remove certain software, even if it is deprecated.

It's probably for the best though, in this case. Last I heard Flash is still kind of a big attack vector.

Maybe update title to "Microsoft makes removal of Flash from Windows 10 mandatory"? I had to click through to the article just to see what MS was removing.

Normally I wouldn't be in favor of OS imposed changes either, but in this case I think there is more good being done here by Microsoft than bad.

I can barely tell the difference between your title edit and mine. Anyway I can't change it now.

calling yourself an "elitist" is definitely a word.
