Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

The non functioning Flash in Edge seems to only affect some platforms. My 32 bit netbook has no problem, whereas my 64 bit laptop doesn't play Flash and my new 950 doesn't play Flash either. There is no way in the phone software to turn it on, and it is turned on in the 64 bit laptop.

This is causing me, and no doubt tens of thousands of others a great deal of angst so it is about time Microsoft fixed this issue on all platforms. The assumption that users are idiots are very annoying.

I get the feeling the quality of testing before release is pretty low as this is a pretty basic problem.

If you bought a new car and could only open 1 door with vague promises that the other non functioning doors will be fixed at an unknown date in the future you'd be pretty pissed wouldn't you?

Come on Microsoft, we have given you our precious dollars, so unless you want the phone to bomb get your act together QUICKLY!

Most of the replies to questions come from users just like yourself. The reply you referenced is from a user.
