I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

    Adobe has already proved they don’t understand web technologies when creating Flash.

        I remember when it was FutureSplash Animator, and my young mind was blown by the possibilities of animations in only a few kb.

          Flash was pretty significant in the web’s journey to where it is today. For things like online video, it was the least pain in the ass way, in a time when the alternative was crapware plug-ins like RealPlayer, QuickTime, or Windows Media Player.

          YouTube probably wouldn’t have existed without Flash and FLV.
