If it is Flash 10 holding up the release, I'd be willing to leave that out. But I have software subscription, so I'm getting Flash 10 whenever it comes out. If I had an entitlement to 2.0 and was waiting for the release, I'd want them to hold off until Flash 10 is ready, then include that.
Flash is very important at this point to many web services. I have plenty of Mac and Windows users who have tried my eCS systems, and basically that is the biggest limitation our platform has. Quite a few users would like a computer from me, even if it runs eCS. I'd say perhaps a quarter of internet users rarely use a feature of Windows or Mac that is not on eCS, except for Flash.
