A single vendor in control of the Internet? Please, don't make me laugh. Clearly Mr Google employee (quoted) doesn't know what he's talking about. The only way that could happen is if the government stepped in (presumably for "national IT security") and started enabling a monopoly with some idiotic regulations. I don't think even politicians are that stupid. Sounds like anti-commercial fear mongering to me. YUP! A single vendor in control of the Internet? Please, don’t make me laugh.

Flash features like video, networking, sound, etc. are no more but extensions to standard languages. I agree that Flash, Silverlight and Flex are better off being from a single vendor, but their strength lies in being based on standards. My 2c.
