Who's the four percent?

Who's the four percent? A December audit of consumer web capability shows that 95.7% of consumers tested already had Adobe Flash Player 9 installed. After eighteen months, almost everyone on the web now has fullscreen video and ActionScript 3 transparently available to them. And over the past twenty-four days we've seen nearly 200 million installations of the Player 9 Update 3, adding H.264 video, many optimizations, and the extremely meaningful Flex framework caching. Any survey of significant web trends needs to include this explosive improvement in clientside capability.
