Additionally, there are 64-bit-compatible versions of Flash; it runs on the 64 bit versions of Windows and Linux.

Sorry You Are Wrong. Adobe has yet to write and release a 64 bit version of Flash.

The iPad uses a custom processor designed and made by Apple.

Sorry, you’re inaccurate on Adobe having not written a 64 bit flash. Granted it’s preproduction alpha/beta, but it does exist. I know this because I have it on my Linux laptop.

That said; Flash, 32 bit or otherwise, is buggy and bloated, and I hate it. IMHO the sooner we can get rid of one more plugin, the better.

Excuse me, read what I wrote:

It is 64 bit COMPATIBLE. It is not 64 bit itself. And it runs fine on the 64 bit versions of Windows and Linux. If you're going to charge someone with being wrong, at least READ and understand what they write!

Yes, and it is NOT 64 bit. It has a 64 bit data bus to the RAM (two blocks internal - 32 bits wide to each block) but the internal registers are 32 bit, as is the OS.
