I'm simply trying to make sure your terminology is clear. Working in the IT field and having done work with several standards bodies in my time there is a clear difference between something being accepted as a "standard" and "everyone uses it". Just because "every desktop out there" has Flash installed doesn't mean it's a good thing, as they say "everyone jumps off a bridge, are you going to too?"
As for your QT screenshot, you originally had it posted claiming it was a Flash plugin missing screenshot and changed your message after I pointed out this fact. As for Apple requiring their own proprietary plugin to view content on their site, so what? Adobe's site is full of Flash. Microsoft's site is full of SilverLight. Really no difference. At least Apple makes their own hardware and supplies QuickTime with it. Microsoft supplies Silverlight with Windows (well, they push it hard for you to download it). Speaking of, why isn't anyone crying for SilverLight on the iPad?
