Microsoft has revealed that its Internet Explorer 10 will not use plug-ins when running in the Metro user interface.



From The Inquirer:

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 10 will be released along with the firm's upcoming Windows 8 operating system that features the Metro user interface. The interface, which looks much like the one on the firm's Windows Phone operating system, aims to simplify Windows usage. As part of that, Internet Explorer 10 will be free of plug-ins when run in the Metro interface.

According to Microsoft, Metro style Internet Explorer 10 disposes with plug-ins in a bid to improve battery life, security, reliability and user privacy. The announcement will give further credibility to Apple's long-held strategy of using a clean-cut web browser with IOS.
