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=L_CASupport_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1175238286492&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=8649286492H30&displaypage=download The lack of an easy to install and maintain flash program is one of the main reasons I maintain a WinXP machine.
