Some people with high-tech browsers don't use Flash for non-technical
reason.  The audit clauses in the license allow Macromedia to audit
your computers for license compliance at any time, so some companies
that feel strongly about their data staying away from prying eyes won't
allow it to be installed.  It's illegal to install Flash on some
versions of Windows, let alone more esoteric operating systems.  Using
the version bundled with IE may skirt some of these issues, I'm not
sure.
