I'd say this is a significantly mis-written article.
By your logic Java and other cross-platform technologies
would be subject to dismissal as well just because HTML 5
is coming along with the ABILITY to natively support

One thing I've not heard any web journalist remark on is the
fact that Adobe secured licensing with cable box
manufacturers last year. This could hint at a potential All-

internet access. These technologies don't typically change
up on a whim, you might tone down the Flash is done-for
rhetoric until you have done more research....
Also, given the fact that my typically non-gamer wife is
TOTALLY and admittedly addicted to practically every Flash
game available on Facebook (who passed up Google Search
in traffic last month,) you REALLY might want to do better
homework than a single conversation with Microsoft....
Seriously.....
