Microsoft should not include such programs with their OS. I can see including device drivers for 3rd party hardware, but including 3rd party runtimes? I've installed XP a million times and I've never seen that Flash was included. MS should issue a remover via windows update. They remove other 3rd party programs -- ok, mostly viruses -- with their monthly releases.
