And no one is suggesting that sites should immediately drop Flash and switch solely to HTML5 - just that it would be a good idea to offer an HTML5 option if you want to get as many eyeballs on your content as possible. It's not an either/or proposition.

hate to tell you, but I have never had a plug-in crash my PC. I stream Netflix all the time on my netbook using My Mac OS and my Win 7 no issues. I never had a flash plug-in or Java plug-in crash my PC. Drivers yes, but not plug-ins, unless you are using plug-ins that are probably not tested.

If you've never had a plug-in crash your browser, you're either extraordinarily lucky or you're just not paying attention. That said, I think that sentence was poorly worded on Jobs' part - I have no problem believing that Flash is the number one cause of Safari crashes, but browser crash != OS crash, which is what his statement implied.
