Microsoft provided a brief overview on
Tuesday of its Internet Explorer 10 web browser that will be a part of
Windows 8. The details shared confirm that there will be two versions of
it; a normal Windows application not unlike existing versions of IE,
and a second “Metro-style” touch-friendly browser that fits in perfectly
with the whole Metro world.
What’s particularly interesting to note about metro browserthis is that not support plugins
whatsoever. We heard whispers of Microsoft’s intent to do away with IE
plugins in Metro as far back as October last year and now Microsoft’s
lead program manager for the Internet Explorer team, John Hrvatin
confirms it.
