Y'know, I used to be pretty cranky 'bout that, too. But now that Adobe has a 
stable version of the Flash player for Linux, I've gotta say its a pretty 
good idea. News stations, streaming audio stations, etc are starting to use 
Flash to serve up their media. That means that websites/companies that would 
never even try to support Linux end up Just Working with a Flash player.

It could be worse.
