Surely flash is irrelevant with the conception of HTML5?

Not entirely, it would require millions of web sites to make HTML5
versions available, and since a whole load of people still use IE6 it's
not going to happen overnight.

I think the point(s) I am making are:

1. Why would adobe continue to support a product that's going to be
obsolete sooner or later. Its not going to be in their interests to
develop and support 64bit versions if HTML5 overtakes, or shrinks their
market considerably. Long time till that happens agreed, but it will.
I think the trouble is more that Adobe are simply not capable of writing the code.
Is that because it was originally developed by Macromedia not Adobe and they now realise they have a knowledge gap in what needs to be done?
