Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/05/10/microsoft-will-ban-chrome-firefox-from-windows-8-mozilla-says/#ixzz1uUNmYY1Q The biggest lawsuit in Microsoft’s history dominated the 90s, when the company battled accusations that it was stifling browser competition. Rival Netscape couldn't survive, but the Windows giant was ultimately forced to strip Internet Explorer from its operating system in a landmark ruling.That conflict may be brewing up again. A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
May 10, 201214 yr Can't say I agree with Microsoft's play on this one and it will surely bite them in the end - if only from the negative publicity. That said, "returning Windows to the digital dark ages" is the typically baseless hyperbole I would expect from Fox "News" - it certainly isn't as bad as all that. As an aside, although it is possible to run alternate browsers on IOS devices, it isn't possible to allow them the same degree of integration with the OS as the built-in Safari and Apple doesn't seem to get much grief for that... Cheers! Iain

May 11, 201214 yr First the close out of add-on developers now Windows itself is moving in similar territory. Microsoft's OS has far bigger visibility than Flight Simulator so I doubt this plays as well with the world community.
