Re: Microsoft to deliver Flash update to Windows 8 shortly

How is this any different than what Google is doing with Chrome?

Chrome automagically pushes Flash updates to its users ASAP insuring that users have the newest version.

I had the same thought but since I don't use either (or plan to) it isn't an issue for me.

IMO the practice of integrating Flash etc into the browser will be an increasing trend. Ordinary users just want their browser to work without the necessity of knowing about plug-in/extensions etc. Google started it and MS is just following IMO.

The thing with Chrome is that they do release updates for Flash very fast, if not the same day as Adobes published release date. I swear I've even seen Flash updates for Chrome that have not yet been officially released by Adobe. I can not see Microsoft doing the same here as we are all required to wait until patch Tuesday for security updates. Feel like waiting 30 days for Microsoft to update IE10 Flash after a serious vulnerability has been documented? Even though Adobe has already corrected and issued a fix for said vulnerability in every other supported browser?

That's a good thing.
