Actually, as the original poster in this thread, it was a comment on the incredible bias of certain users of this forum and the net against Apple... and my original thoughts have been borne out in that, despite MS doing the same as Apple with their Metro on tablets and going without Flash, there has been no rush of condemnation like Apple received but a whole series of "rationalisations" & "excuses"as to how MS are perfectly reasonable for doing this as opposed to nasty Apple doing it...

And as far as the Flash battle now going on is concerned, I find HarryT to be more on target than kennyc... personally, if I find a site has to have Flash to use it then I prefer to use another site... Flash activities have caused more problems with crashes than almost anything else regardless of platform... I'm tired of fixing up systems where they demand that you install the latest Flash when it's already installed...

And before the MS/Win "fanbois" start accusing me of being an "Apple cultist" note that I an platform neutral using various Windows, Unix, Apple and various Androids as appropriate for my needs at the time... but I have wanted a good excuse to return the "fanbois"comment to the normally rude and rabid users. Platforms are irrelevant... I use desktop and laptop computers, tablets etc to do things not for the sake of the platform...

Also, why all the people keen to point out that this applies to Metro... are you only semi-literate or just glance at a thread title without reading the 1st post??? I said, in the original post, that this applied to Metro...
