Adobe Flash Player IS the internet. Almost everything we love about the online experience includes Flash. Without Flash Player the browser feels very 1995.

Originally Microsoft was not going to include a browser. Microsoft's Product Manager Aaron Greenberg announced that Microsoft had no plans to include a browser in 2010 stating that browsing the Internet on a home television would be a "poor experience."

But with enough push from the community Internet Explorer for the Xbox 360 is on the horizon. True to the prediction in 2010 browsing the web on the Xbox will be a poor experience. Not because the user will be viewing the web on their TV but because the core features that make the Internet great are not included in the browser.
