I'm not sure how windows does it, bit Apple locks down old versions of flash whenever they discover potential vulnerabilities. There are three typical vectors of infection for Macs today: Flash, Java and users who grant random scripts super user permission (i.e. going to some bad site and then willingly typing in your password to let it install malware with administrator rights). 

Poser forces me and other Mac people to install Adobe's bug riddled crapware...about once a month. On other words, poser requires me to install one of the two primary vectors of malware. Am I the only one who finds this really irritating? Doesn't Poser already have a GUI? Can't they just ditch the flash library system and write one in Python or maybe even...whatever the rest of the GUI was written in? Do we REALLY need a webserver embedded into an already bloated application just to make life easier for the developer(s)?

Am I the only one who really wants them to switch? Is there someplace we can go to let SM know that we aren't happy with this?
