Flash in Windows 8

Starting tomorrow, we are updating Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 8 and Windows RT to enable Flash content to run by default. On Windows 8, all Flash content continues to be enabled for IE on the desktop.

Sites will no longer be limited to the whitelist maintained by Microsoft.

Cue malware writers, 0day scripters, and bot herders all over the world rolling on floor giggling hysterically..
