I am currently looking at getting a tablet. I would like to do a Windows 8 or Windows RT tablet, but I first need to confirm something.
My main problem is that the tablet must be able to access a certain website that uses flash. This one point could force me into an x86 based Windows 8 tablet. I happen to use security camera hardware from Logitech that offers remote interaction via a flash based website.
I know that Windows RT does support flash in IE, but only based on a whitelist that MS maintains. I checked that list and the Logitech site is not listed. When I got my hands on the Asus RT tablet at a store, I tried to load the page and it failed. However, I discovered that there is a registry change that allows you to individually add a website to the whitelist, making use of a debug key. Unfortunately, I cant try that on a demo unit at a store, so I have no other choice but to try and reach anyone that owns one to actually try the work around and then the site.
The site is: alert.logitech.com
If anyone is willing to try and add the site to through the registry change, here are the steps that I found via MS' documentation:
Here is a link to the page I got this from:

I'm stuck until I can confirm this, so if anyone could do that, it would help alot. I'm happy to add the site in that manner if it will work after doing so.
