RE: FLASH: IE 5 without Flash?

[Gary Barber]

AFAIK with the IE (Win), Flash is being bundled not really within the IE

package but as standard add on for the mulitmedia internet experience along

with the Windows media player etc. Since this is close to the operating

system this seems to mean that the Flash player is bundled with OS upgrades

and option packs. But not as a standard item in the IE 5 (windows bundle).


So with this in mind maybe the same thing is happening in the Mac world too.


Anyone else got any ideas/experiences with this one.
