    chances are you wont be seeing the latest mini site for a BMW car done with AJAX or whatever...for that sort of thing (and plenty others) flash has its' place, front and centre...

    on the other hand..

    for a lot of companies, flash just isn't the way they want to go...for a variety of reasons that most of you all know (being in the business afterall)
    AJAX has a ton of benefits, can do some fairly cool things, and has the benefit of not being tied up with something like flash...it just works, no player necessary...
    and while, yes, flash will ship with windows or whatever...a lot of folks simply don't have it...
    my folks have it now (in their late 60's) but only because i told them to install it..they thought it was some kind of virus.....(layoff..they're old)....
    and lots of big companies are very very very explicit on what and what NOT can be installed on their company computers...
    flash included.

    anyhow, thats just what i think..
    i like flash, but i've always been more impressed with sites that don't use it.
