RE: FLASH: No Flash Player (Corporate Restrictions)

[Chayli Design]

I'm not sure of the statistics so can only speak from personal experience.

Many Government Depts and Corporates operating LANs or WANs that I've dealt

with choose not to have the various plugins installed (supposedly for

security reasons - although I wouldn't want to debate this with the sys

admin ppl). The "day job" for me is with a quite large Gov't dept and we

don't even have JavaScript enabled. As you can imagine browsing at the

office isn't a lot of fun. Needless to say, we web developers either run for

our laptops and dial in outside the network environment or do our research

at home.


It really depends on the target audience I suppose ... and the assessment of

the risks involved in alienating a segment of the audience.
