I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

Everyone was knifing Flash. It had to go. It was a mess and hard to port or secure. I mean Adobe could have open sourced it and it could have got sorted, but HTML5 was chomping at the bit to replace it. Flash content is now slipping into the "digital darkage".

Making it open source would mean it's easier to archive old flash content. It would also make it easier to port or secure. It's the only ethical choice.

Oh I agree, but that wasn't in Adobe's nature.
