Didn't they talk about this months ago?
Is it news again, have they clarified or changed something?

Bad news for ARM!
One of the things that will worry me about this whole batterylife thing, HTML5 javascript.
When on my P series, which has tiny processor power and such, I always browse with flash block on and no script.
As more people ditch flash and have html5 adverts, I'm sure this will cain the battery just as much as browsing with flash on currently does.
No plugins will mean no ability to have a script blocking plugin....

PDF viewing could be the most annoying in the long run. So I hope they have a PDF viewer in-built. How are the cooks of the house going to cope when they buy a PDF cook book and wish to use the Metro Interface.
Plenty of people (myself included) don't actually have a PDF reader enabled via ActiveX because of legacy security risks when running on XP.
After disabiling it, its never missed. I want to read a PDF, odds are having it outside of the browser isn't going to be any inconvience.
I'd hazard a guess that PDF handling will be the same it is on WinPho 7, that is you open it, it transitions to Adobe Reader.

Good point - then again, is IE8/IE9 blessed with noscript/abp type scripts?
I'm not too worried about IE10's capabilities because if/when I do go Windows8 I'll do the same as Windows7 and use Firefox/Chrome as my browser of preference. IE's too slow and limited for my purposes these days.
The news was based on this blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2...-free-web.aspx
Plugins are what makes Firefox and Chrome usable. MS need to admit the problem is ActiveX, not the plugin model.
Its really not!
One of the cunning ideas they had with ie9 was to let people see what plugins they had. On my dad's computer it was spending 2.3seconds, thats longer than the rest of the browser opening, to load HP's web print something stupid no one actually uses. There were about 4 others there too.
Kill it, kill them all.
