Stop Using Excessive Flash!

When building your website, I’d suggest to ease out on flash. Maybe in a few years, when regular bandwidth is at 6MBPS and higher it would be acceptable, but today most users still have 1MBPS and lower. It takes too long to load flash sites built 100% with flash.

Example: http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/easyeasier/index.htm#intro

Please reconsider building a website 100% with flash, it’s much better to opt for a nice flash intro, and use it in various parts, sidebars, etc. You optimize speed and experience that way. Just a tip
