Well there's a few options:
Adobe could publish the entire Flash spec so that projects like gnash
could implement them fully
or the web could largely use something else instead like HTML5
Both options are unlikely, more's the pity
I know HTML5 is a ways off but I'm hoping it will improve things.
Internet security seems to be a bit of a problem lately. Banks and such
getting hacked is not good. Either the hackers are getting better or
some security people ain't getting the job done. I figure some of
both. Add in that hackers seem to be doing things in groups, finding a
hole is not as hard to do. I think that is also one reason Linux is as
secure as it is. There are lots of people looking at source code so
finding problems are happening all the time. I also think Linux folks
jump on problems and get them fixed quicker too.
I guess Adobe is going to be a weak spot for a good long while. That's
not good for Linux, M$ or Macs either I guess.
