No Flash Shipping With MacBooks
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 04:00 AM
"Last week, we reported that Apple's new MacBook Airs were shipping without Adobe Flash preinstalled... a radical departure from the norm for Apple, which has been bundling Flash with OS X (and OS 9 before it) as the default for seemingly ages. Was it a fluke, or is this Apple's new policy?"
And not just MacBook Airs, as Apple is saying it won't ship with any of their products in the future. Sounds like another conspiracy in the making doesn't it? Well it's not, basically the reason is that due to frequent updates by Adobe, you get an outdated version anyway when you get your Mac so you might as well just add it (if you choose to) when you get your machine so you have the latest version. Same with Java. Or do you think this is just a dig at Adobe? What are your thoughts, good move? Bad move?
