Quite many (most) operating systems that don't have flash support, yes, you
have gplflash and gnash, but not usable.

Even if GNU/Linux x86 has a flash plugin, it do not have the same features as
the one written for microsoft, so many flash based sites just don't work well
and many times don't work at all.


With other words, flash suxx for web design if you want people to be able to
use the site.


Server side scripting that generates w3c valid output is the only that is
really cross operatingsystem/browser compatible.
