Perhaps its the most widespread. Its hardly ubiquitous though, and
will become less so as time passes. I'd say this works in less than
half of the browsers I regularly use. In fact, of my three main
computers Flash is installed on 1 of them. I haven't gone to any
effort to remove it. In a couple of cases, I've gone to considerable
effort to add it.
What I see in the field doesn't come close to matching what web
designers think their audience has installed. I suspect there's a
huge self-selection effect operating here, where large parts of the
reading public simply avoid sides that use Flash.
