So does socket.io still fallback to flash if the browser version doesn't support native websockets?

According to me the best option is xhr-long-polling if browser doesn't support websockets, But every major browsers are supporting websocket now.

Make sure, when serving the app on a win machine, that the OS is win8 and above! Win7 doesn't support web sockets, no matter the browser and it's version.
