I agree with the part underlined and highlighted. Here is an example of a website that totally didn't need flash, but is wholly dependent on it (it doesn't show up at all without plug-in):
http://minado.com/
It's just a restaurant website with hours, locations, prices, and frequent_diner form -- and yet they made themselves totally inaccessible to a host of browsers/platforms -- mindbobbling.
I know the owners, they think because it shows up on their windows webbrowser, it will show up on every webbrowser - so they don't complain to their developer.
The future can't rest on propietary flash.
