Win8 Metro Edition IE10 will provide limited Flash support

May 24th news, Microsoft will provide some types of Adobe Flash content support in Win8 Metro Edition IE10 browser. The news said that Microsoft is currently working on integrating Flash into the IE10 browser, but only provides support for certain situations to ensure the battery life, security and reliability of the Metro browser.

According to foreign media Winsupersite, this turnaround was announced in the near future and will be reflected in the upcoming Win8 RP version. Microsoft initially stated that the Win8 Metro browser will not support plug-ins, but since the Internet is not ready to completely abandon Flash, it is not ready for the arrival of the HTML5 era, so the result of the current compromise.

Microsoft is currently working closely with Adobe. Adobe has provided open source code to access Flash and allows code to be used in IE10; therefore, Microsoft does not need a policy that does not support plugins for the Metro version of IE. To make an exception, Flash will be part of IE.

Restricted Flash content support ensures the core core experience of Win8 users, but it does not support all Flash content. This is the joint effort of Microsoft and Adobe for the user experience. The most important thing now is to wait for the release of Win8 RP on June 1.
