According to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team leader Dean Hachamovitch, Microsoft’s brand new Windows 8 Metro user interface will not support Adobe Flash or other plug-ins, instead embracing the HTML5 set of web standards.
In a blog post, the company said the Metro style Internet Explorer 10 is HTML 10 only and plug-in free. Consumers can still view Flash-enabled websites in the standard desktop interface of Windows 8.
“Providing compatibility with legacy plug-in technologies would detract from, rather than improve, the consumer experience of browsing in the Metro style UI,” Hachamovitch wrote in a blog post on Thursday, causing quite a stir in the blogosphere.
