Handicaps
There may be hordes of MS.NET developers, but that's not going to terribly impress their customers if it means limiting them to MS.NET clients -- they're a distinct minority there.

Flash isn't quite that crippled, but it's still seriously constrained by Adobe's limited platform-porting power. After all, they can't even get an AMD64 version of Flash to work.

Which leaves Java. Well ahead in platform support, but the question is how hard it will be to hold onto that lead. IMHO one of Sun's unstated reasons for releasing their JVM under the GPL is to ease the bottleneck on porting to different platforms.

We'll see if it works.
