    Apple also decided not to include Flash in the OS X installation disk from now on because 1) you should get the latest version from Adobe's site, o 2) it's embedded on Chrome so if you use that browser you won't even need to do a separate download and 3) there was some uproar when Snow Leopard was released because the bundled Flash was known to have a vulnerability and by the time Apple pressed the DVDs and went through all their QA it was too late to include the patched version.

    It's similar to what happened with Java and OS X, Apple decided that it wasn't worth the amount of engineers needed to maintain the Java version for the Mac and that Oracle should do it just as they do for the other platforms.
