A secret binary under NDA will not make users on all architectures happy 
(yes, you can compile once, but maintain the port...?).

I hope that alternatives (silverlight / moonlight) and gnash will make 
matters better. Recent gnash snapshots are getting much more usable 
(0.8.2rc played Youtube movies just fine).

Gnash has also some nice features - whitelist/blacklist and debugging so 
that you can see what URL's is your SWF really accessing. (I have 
blacklisted some YT statistics immediately). Another feature I like is 
that movies do not have to autostart - you can play them when you click 
them. This saves a lot of trouble with hanging/crashing SWF's. Plus, 
gnash runs as a separate standalone process, so a crash is not that bad.
