[osflash] Stop being Windows-oriented!

[justin]

Well my tipping point came over a year and half ago - or thereabouts. 
Since then I've done all my Flash agency work using Ubuntu, and it's 
just plain delightful! Actually I lie, there have been bugs with the 
Flash player on Linux, but it has reached a pretty decent point of 
stability now.

The player doesn't perform *as* well (I even think performance degraded 
with the last release) but that sort of makes me work harder to 
optimise, so when I switch to mac / win for testing it's a delight ;-)

I've also pushed forward on switching family over to Ubuntu - people in 
the 60-70 age bracket, and their collective verdict - simple, easy to 
use, no nonsense, which really is true. Installing software on Ubuntu is 
so much easier than on Windows, and also no worries with family calling 
about slow computers / virus / spyware.

It's definitely ready for the desktop, and hasn't Windows market share 
dropped 1-2 percent during the Vista release so far?
