You’re completely right. Most people never use the multitasking in their operating systems and most people couldn’t even explain what multitasking truly is.

You can be sure that Microsoft hates this and is pushing out a lot of FUD in hopes of damaging sales. Flash is completely unimportant as you note. The other supposed fault is the lack of multitasking, but many of the people nodding their heads about that wouldn't know a multitasking OS from anything else - and very seldom use multitasking anyway. The most laughable complaint I have read is that the iPhone apps won't take advantage of the screen until rewritten. Imagine if people had said that Dos apps wouldn't take advantage of Windows 3.1!
