Running windowed Flash within the content process itself would mean giving that content process access to the main window's HWND. That's not really an option for sandboxing, AIUI. Also, running windowed Flash within the content process would not work with multiple content processes, AIUI. Also, running Flash in the same process as content sucks more than running it in its own process. The best option for "proper" support of Flash would probably be a Flash process hanging off the master process, with content processes granted channels to the Flash process via IPDL trickery, plus some extra work to have the content process tell the master process how to position and clip each Flash window. It's going to be complex.
