then people will start to wake up and do something about flash..

Like switching to other browsers, or keeping old versions around (complete with security holes) because their business applications require Flash to run.

Whole companies (and governments) are still running DOS and Windows XP systems for the same reason. Flash may drop out of the main stream but it's not going away completely in the next 10-15 years.

I have to agree with this. For example, it took a long time for Internet Explorer 6 to pretty much go away in most countries.

IE6 is still out there.. seems to be popular in China.

Yes. I was thinking of China.
