I find that assumption grossly inaccurate. I have experienced difficulties numerous times trying to access financial institutions without a working flash plug-in. I just had another bad experience with a linksys site using Opera: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=3DL_CASupport_C1&childpagename= =3DUS%2FLayout&cid=3D1175238286492&pagename=3DLinksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWra= pper&lid=3D8649286492H30&displaypage=3Ddownload The lack of an easy to install and maintain flash program is one of the main reasons I maintain a WinXP machine.
