New Chromebook has Flash if that's what you're getting at, doofus.
No NaCl yet though so Bastion and From Dust are out of the picture. :'( But PNaCl is coming which will add support back in.
Verge knows what's up.

Also, fwiw, I'm starting to really love this thing after getting the hang of it. The switching between desktop and Metro isn't as jarring now that I've visualized how the layering works.
Not mention discovering all the various shortcuts have greatly improved the flow of navigation. Just getting used to hitting the Win-key to bring up Metro (and realizing by simply typing I go straight to search), Win-C for the Charm Bar, and Win-Q (among other keys) to jump to the App list/search helped a lot. I can safely say I don't need the start menu anymore.

The way I think of it - and I don't know if this is close to what MS intended or not - is that the Start menu has been removed because it's been replaced by the Metro Start Page. Metro is a full-screen start menu with a subset of light full-screen apps for tablet-style data consumption. Everything else is Windows 7. TAH DAH.
Sounds like someone needs to take one for the team and check them out. If it ends up erasing my D drive, I swear to Lucifer, everyone in this thread will pay.

I can report that the "Remove Everything and Reinstall Windows" works beautifully like a fresh install, even from my cheap Upgrade License. If you allowed Win to sync your settings, some of your Metro options will be retained, otherwise everything on the OS hard drive will be wiped clean. The tool gave me a few options before starting which I appreciated (e.g. "Wipe all your drives or OS drive only" and "Delete all files or "Thoroughly clean drive" which I chose and took 6 hours to complete).
Everything right now has been reset to factory settings, from documents, apps, and drivers all the way to my registry. I'm a happy camper. All hail Balmer.
Even my Chrome problem has been solved. Now the Metro icon takes me to the Desktop Chrome, current session even and not a new window.
Edit: The whole confusion is caused by what default browser I had set, by the way. If I set Chrome as my default browser the Start Menu icon turns black and instances launched from it takes place in the Metro mode of Chrome, it's also worth noting that Metro IE is disabled in this case. When I change my default browser to IE, Metro IE is enabled and the Start Menu Chrome icon reverts back to pointing to the Desktop app, thus disabling Chrome's Metro mode.
