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

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 15, 2011 @01:35AM from the flash-always-seems-to-find-a-way dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Microsoft Windows Engineering Team has announced that the Metro interface web browser in Windows 8 will not support plug-ins — 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. With Google, Apple, Mozilla, Opera and other major players already backing HTML5 — is Adobe Flash finally dead?"

Why's microsoft think they're the center of the universe?
That's almost like some angry, emo and ugly teenage girl looking at some beautiful girl and thinking "who she thinks she is, the center of the universe?" when all the guys like her instead. Sometimes it helps to come forward and be a little bit more likable - a good advice to Linux and free software.
