I much prefer Chrome's approach to locking down Flash- put it in a (much more) secure sandbox.

Microsoft could have taken the approach of running Flash in it's own Win8 app container, but apparently wanted to put as little effort into it as possible.

Chrome efforts are without doubts to tackle the security concerns of flash, and in that I wish them all the best.
