Apples actual response to the Flash issue

[Randall Lee Reetz]

I don't buy it.  I think that apple is frustrated that it can't build a vector based video description language without infringing on adobe's patents.  I think that apple has tried unsuccessfully to engage adobe in a joint project or to buy the rights.  I think microsoft has as well.  This is a freezout.  A hunger strike.  Apple would never piss off its customers without an absolute need pressing them into this dangerous territory.  Apple needs to break adobe's stubbornness.  This is a last resort move which will give them and ms legal ammo in an antitrust battle should they have build their own patient busting protocol.
