    As much as I'm shamed to admit it, Flash penetration is pretty complete
    at the moment:

      http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html
      http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/methodology/

    I was thinking it would be much lower than this, but the study looks
    sound. My only concern would be about the panelist recruitment and to
    whether there were any biases there, i.e. they said they recruit from
    banner ad's and if these are flash based that could alter things. The
    fact that they're being reasonably open about the methodology is a good
    sign, the fact it's sponsored by Adobe is a bad one.
