Comment:

 Per discussion in IRC:
  * The browser uploader is only necessary for files over 100MB, in Opera
 or IE, when Flash or Silverlight is used. The HTML4 runtime works in IE9
 (and presumably IE10).
  * WP.com is going to remove the browser uploader warning and link and see
 what happens. The 100MB warning will appear for affected browsers, and
 that will include a browser uploader link.
  * We should do the same in RC2. It's a crappy experience to have it open
 in a new window, so let's see if we can avoid it.
  * If we get any, *any* bug reports, we restore it for RC3 and final.

 Patch attached.
