>> Servers shouldn’t be browsing websites with Flash enabled

True, in general.

Unless your server is used to admin/manage other servers whose misbegotten application UIs require Flash to administer their applications. In which case you have to have Flash somewhere.

Sometimes you can dedicate a client machine to such purposes, but sometimes you need to use a server for other related applications and functions.

There is no escape from Flash until application vendors stop building their apps to require it.

It's the UNDEAD. I hate Flash with a passion but it's still unavoidable for certain applications.

I would never even use a browser on Windows Server.

Should I uninstall Flash v24 from my Win-7 unit? Is there a list of what stops working?

I guess I'm just lucky because there is NO WEBSITE ON THE PLANET where I need to go that requires flash. I uninstalled it years ago. Frankly, if a website is still so backward that they use flash, I'd be leery of going there even with flash blocked.
