As you know Metro version of Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 will not support extensions or plug-ins to improve battery life as well as security, reliability, and privacy for consumers. Today, in a new Microsoft blog post, the company offered web site designers a way to transition their sites when the Metro version of IE10 is used by their visitors.
If a web site still requires plug-in in order to be viewed or used, web site developers can insert either an special HTTP header or meta tag that will tell Metro IE10 users to switch to IE10 for the regular Windows desktop. That version will still support plug-ins like Adobe Flash. You can see that message in the image above.
