Windows 8 Won't Support Plug-Ins; the End of Flash?

[wraggster]

"The Microsoft Windows Engineering Team has announced that the Metro interface web browser in Windows 8 will not support plug-ins (https://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/14/metro-style-browsing-and-plug-in-free-html5.aspx) — Adobe Flash included. Users will still be able to open a traditional browser interface to make use of legacy sites that rely upon plug-ins. This news follows a recent blog post by the Internet Explorer 10 team pushing the use of HTML5 video as a replacement to Flash video (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/08/31/browsing-without-plug-ins.aspx). With Google, Apple, Mozilla, Opera and other major players already backing HTML5 — is Adobe Flash finally dead?"
