My biggest concern is when HTML5 controls most video delivery (5-8 years?). Flash's penetration rate (Flash Player 10 is already at 97%) is so high b/c youtube is the main distributor. If youtube uses HTML5, future Flash player penetration will suffer greatly.

If this scenario is coupled with an all out attempt by Microsoft to kill Flash, well that would create a perfect storm for Flash's demise.

At that point I would suggest the Adobe no longer release their Creative Suites for Mac. The ultimate SNUB!
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Let's also not forget that youtube re encoded pretty much all of its content solely to accomodate iPhone users.

How long did that take them? Less time than iPhones have been on the market.
