I stumbled across this graph on Macromedia’s “site”:1 (aka, Adobe) today.

And “this”:2…

bq.. In September 2005, NPD Research conducted a study to determine what percentage of Web browsers have Macromedia Flash pre-installed. The results show that 97.3% of Web users can experience Macromedia Flash content without having to download and install a player.

p. I never knew that Flash was that ubiquitous. Amazing.
