@merk
well, I would point out that there are native flash plugins for most supported OS and versions
(http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/, not listed but except for linux 64-bit, most 32-bit and 64 bit version of an OS(where applicable) are supported. Also, I can see that Palm webOS and Symbian™ S60 are supported too)
But that is not the point.

What I am trying to say is all mainstream computers that can run amd64 ubuntu (the average 'Joe' desktop) can run x86 ubuntu too. So its not about choice of hardware, but software.
Considering that we are trying to appeal to a mass audience who may not understand the compatibility issues, why not offer the most compatible one as the most recommended one?

After all, we are not forcing a decision between an IPhone and an Android are we?
