This is NOT a build specific limitation. This is a decision already made (of course can be reversed). See this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/14/m

This is NOT a build specific limitation. This is a decision already made (of course can be reversed). See this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/14/metro-style-browsing-and-plug-in-free-html5.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/14/metro-style-br... "For the web to move forward and for consumers to get the most out of touch-first browsing, the Metro style browser in Windows 8 is as HTML5-only as possible, and plug-in free. The experience that plug-ins provide today is not a good match with Metro style browsing and the modern HTML5 web. Running Metro style IE plug-in free improves battery life as well as security, reliability, and privacy for consumers. Plug-ins were important early on in the web’s history. But the web has come a long way since then with HTML5. Providing compatibility with legacy plug-in technologies would detract from, rather than improve, the consumer experience of browsing in the Metro style UI."
