So I cant use e.g. Flowplayer on my site to show IE people a video?
Flowplayer seems to be HTML5 by now, so it should work.

Yes you can. The new version of Flowplayer is HTML5 and then falls back to Flash if HTML5 isn't supported.

#14The whitelisting is on the IE10 thats embedded in the Windows 8 ui (those fancy tiles). The normal IE10 browser that you use to browse the web with has no such limitations. Nothing to see here...

#15Interesting.
Flash is not just video and ads. Flex is a powerful and rich application stack on Flash platform. There are numerous sites out there using Flex.

#17reading the lines, It seems this is only in the Metro version of IE. But still an hassle, where the desktop IE pops-up when non white-listed Flash content is on the page.
Submitting your site for consideration for Internet Explorer compatibility As stated previously, developers who have sites that require Flash Player can mark the page with a META tag (or serve a header) indicating that the site requires a plug-in. This causes Internet Explorer 10 to prompt the end user to open the site in Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop. If a site is on the CV list as compatible with Internet Explorer 10, Internet Explorer 10 will always open it with Flash Player enabled and the user won't be prompted to open in Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop.

#18Is M$ trying the Apple approach? To be in control of everything? Is this the beginning of another walled garden? Will M$ succeed at it?

#19Big question is: will Silverlight run on websites not whitelisted by Microsoft? Otherwise it's a dirty trick.
Silverlight is more dead than Flash and MS killed itby alienating Silverlight developers.
The only thing keeping silverlight alive is Netflix. I wonder why they use it in first place.
