You got me. I work with - and not infrequently install - the Big One of
them on a day-to-day basis, now, and it certainly doesn't come with
Flash preinstalled (although it might look like that from an end user's
perspective, since setting that up is one of the things I have to take
care of).

That is, however, the claim which that page makes. Where it got its
information from, or whether that information is accurate, is entirely
another matter.
