Anyone who was expecting this to come was really expecting way too much. Even the full OS X doesn't play nice with flash with much better CPUs, more ram, etc.

I figured maybe Apple could pull it off but Jobs is definitely right about the heavy battery consumption and unreliability it would cause.

Personally on my macbook I don't have a problem with flash content. Games can be a little heaty at times but in general its not that bad.
