1) EMBRACE: Release MS Flash for Safari, IE and Firefox. Wait a few years until the proportion of sites using the plug-in gets high enough. Convert MSN.com, microsoft.com and msnbc.com to the new thing. Broker deals so that big partners get on board.
2) EXTEND: Release a new and "improved" MS Flash 2 that changes the protocol, a new version so good that it couldn't be made for Safari and Firefox because they are supposedly "inferior" browsers.
3) EXTINGUISH: Whether or not MS Flash succeeds, MS would still have made chinks in Adobe's armor, and made more people dependent on IE for that one website that doesn't work in other browsers.
A brilliantly evil, tried & true strategy for MS.
