I wouldn't say that. Here are specifics:
1) Windows 8 Desktop: Supports Flash Player / Adobe AIR apps
2) Windows 8 'Metro' UI: IE has an embedded version of Flash Player.
No AIR support
3) Windows RT: IE has an embedded version of Flash Player; No AIR Support
4) Windows Phone: No support

So windows 8 tablets that have desktop mode can essentially run the full flash player and
AIR. No wimpy mobile OS and junk mobile browser. So full hardware acceleration in flash
player and no strange "mobile" version of Flash player etc.
The devices are also getting fast enough now that I don't think performance is
a problem. My daughter was playing a flex based math game full of animations on
a lenovo think pad tablet the other day without issues at all.

Hi,
I have to admit that currently I'm a Little confused about Flash and Windows 8
... what is the current Status here?
As far as I could Google, a Flashplayer is available for Windows 8. Is this
still correct? Then also the Captive Runtime should be available ...
I thought (sperdupercool) thing with Windows 8 is that you have the same
platform from Mobile to Desktop ... so is is possible to use Flash on Windows 8
Mobile Phones and Tablets?
