This news comes just weeks after the Flash developer indicated that the new operating system for mobile devices from Microsoft do not come with support for Flash, at least in early versions. Then it would add a plug-in for Internet Explorer Mobile, so that users can count on full support for Flash in its terminals.

Meanwhile, Steve Ballmer, CEO ofMicrosoft, said during the presentation of the operating system during the MWC 2010 that “we have no objection to support Flash in this new generation,” in clear reference to its most direct rival, Apple.

Also through its CEO, SteveJobs, the Apple company has stressed that the new Tablet PC in the company, iPad, will not come withFlash. The reluctance of Jobs to Adobe Flash is long, since for the CEO of Apple, Adobe Flash contains many errors and the future of Internet and multimedia content HTML5 pass.

For its part, Adobe could not stand idle before such statements: “No support for Flash, iPad users can not access a large number of content available on the Web, as 70% of games or 75 % of the videos “.

Without doubt, Adobe Flash has become an element that will have much weight in the emerging Tablet PC segment, where it is expected a great battle between manufacturers of the likes of Apple (with itsiPad), Microsoft (Courier) and HP (Slate), and in the mobile section.

One of them told the paper that “suddenly opened the account a user totally unfamiliar to me. I tried again with the same result. I tried it several times and each time opened a separate account.

According to Microsoft, it is uncertain whether the two events are related.

Microsoft emphasizes that assigns critical importance to the privacy of its users, and therefore has initiated an investigation to clarify the issue.
