No, you just sandbox it like Chrome does. Since when has Microsoft been bothered about third party software with security issues? Apple and Microsoft have had more security issues with their own OS and software than Adobe Flash could ever have and as for battery life, meh, at least Android devices have the option to use Flash.

Again commenting without knowing ftw you are talking about makes you look stoopid... Read the linked article and then comment.
You can still view flash/silverlight content, but you can not do it inside metro. You will be dropped into classic dt to do so.
Also are you kidding about flash security? The difference between a native exploit and a 3rd party one are gigantic. One you can patch asap the other has to be done by the 3rd party.
I was on about the metro UI, dropping back to the classic desktop isn't the point, especially if you're on a tablet.
LOL, since when did Microsoft or Apple patch ASAP? They didnt' fix security holes for ages and don't disclose them. Adobe actually ship updates to Flash anyway now days via their update system.

Right... MS is teh suxors when it comes to patches (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin). You are now starting to sound like a linux zealot. Have fun with that..
Who's changing the context of the conversation now to suit their needs? The best you can come up with is to try and take the Linux high ground to defend my view of Microsoft. Funny isn't it because you guys are the ones who started it, not me. Try and learn to have a proper conversation because it's pretty sad to watch you sink to this level. :rolleyes:
Conversation over.......

Thank God!
Yeah, should have stopped a few pages back because of the trolls but god had nothing to do with it I assure you.

You didn't have to dude. Powers of deduction don't leave any other choice. Besides it isn't like you haven't already trolled your linux love here at NVN.
I use Windows as well so get your facts straight. I also have an opinion, you don't like it, don't reply.

LOL, so childish.
Right now both of you are. This is just as bad as when Rakeesh and Greedo went on a spree trolling each other.
It's annoying. I don't care which one of you does it but be the bigger man and just stop posting about this.
Well, I cannot have a conversation with some nob calling me a Linux fanboy, just because they read something a long time ago. It's like being followed around by some Windows bullies who cannot get it out of their thick skull. Just grow up guys, honestly. I don't like the Metro UI because I don't like the look of it, not because I don't like Microsoft, so just grow some common sense.
BTW, I never even made comments close this, you seem to pick on people when it suits you you have a selective reading problem. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2479631&postcount=25

I don't care- just drop it!
Being honest if I were a mod I'd temp-ban anybody that started this crap outside of P&R. This means you and bacon. It's annoying to have to wade through pages of posts of two members just going at each other.
Just stop. I don't care who does it, just stop.
EDIT1:Oh for crying out loud! I went back and edit that post as you can see because I know what I did and said was wrong! When is that last time you did that? EDIT2: Okay, clicked the link to the post and it was a post of nekros not mine, not sure how that ties into me. Thought you were referring to a rant of mine in P&R...
Either way this crap is childish and it needs to end. Ya'll don't quit it I will report each and every one of your posts to the mods until you two stop.

Everyone knows you just came in this thread to bash MS. You see that opportunity and take it, I called you out on it and now your butt aches.
Get over yourself dude. You don't see me trolling the linux section do you?
I bet there is some idiot banging on about me still, I hates Microsoft and trolls the Windows part of the forums, bah, bah. Let's move on shall well....
I'll be sticking with Windows 7 by the look of Windows 8. Yes, I'll be USING WINDOWS 7. Oh, if you didn't get that I'll be still using Windows 7. Hmmm, not sure about this but I'm sure I said i'll be using Windows 7
But wait, that's Microsoft Windows 7, just in case someone confuses Windows 7 with another OS that's not Microsoft Windows 7

simply horrible, windows with social bs integration, great, just ****ing great, when they finish the setup it will probably ask your for facebook acount.

I didn't say anything about Linux, you made the assumption I was talking Linux because you know I use it. You actually brought Linux up in the thread with no valid reason whatsoever.
No, I made that assumption because you always come over to windows threads with the express purpose of trolling them. And it was a correct assumption at that.
Are you going to bore us all with your 'Linux failed on the desktop because' talk? The desktop isn't everything you know and I don't know whether you know but lots of businesses fail to get any traction against big brand names in any type of business, especially the ones monopolised by huge companies with billions to throw about.
In the end user space, the desktop IS everything. You almost act as though the desktop is meaningless, which is just stupid.

I pretty much agree with this. I just tried windows 8 in a VM and so far I really don't like it from a UI perspective. You have to register a live id account, and then the start menu is removed and replaced with metro, and then metro is littered with social media junk.
Why can't I just have a regular start menu? I really don't like how when I want to launch another program, I have to completely cover up my desktop, not only that but metro is really cumbersome compared to the nice compact classic start menu, and I find it really annoying that you can't manipulate any system settings without metro active.
From a technical perspective windows 8 is great though. A fresh install uses only 10GB, and even in a VM it boots fast, not to mention has a very tiny memory footprint, and some apps, such as the task manager, have been greatly improved.
Also, I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but copying files is FAST. MS has really optimized the crap out of how the OS buffers data for file copying, it even does a better job than linux does now. Not only that, but it has an option where you can see the transfer rate in real-time (no more highly inaccurate estimations that wildly vary.) It takes literally 1.5 seconds to copy a gigabyte file on my setup, and again, that is within a VM which is slower than running on a real system.
That would be awesome if these increased disk I/O speeds would affect games as well.
