This particular issue seems to pop up every year or so and there is vast online info available on the topic already. But Flash-bashing seems to be de rigueur these days...
Yes, Adobe is aware of some of the issues mentioned (we Flash pros cringe at the old Macromedia settings windows still in use) but some of his bugs are in fact features (such as being browser agnostic) that behave differently because it's simply different tech (like Mac vs Win).
In all fairness, Adobe has their hands very busy these days with AIR, the new Flash player, and porting Flash to multiple platforms. If the old stuff works, they're not messing with it.
That's because adobe are assholes. Don't think that avoiding/subverting user intent with respect to cookie management is anything but an intentional feature and selling point.
