For you who await the arrival of the newest Microsoft tablet with its operating system Windows 8, here the following explanation about the product
Microsoft announced that Windows 8 operating system RT (Runtime) which will be reserved for the ARM processor supports only the Internet Explorer browser.
With this, it means that your third party browser can not run on this operating system designed for the tablet device.
Knowing this, the two big names, Mozilla and Google expressed their disappointment and trying so Microsoft can change the policies that harm them.
Mozilla General Counsel, Harvey Anderson, in his blog saying that it was a setback in the digital era. With these provisions, Mozilla regretted the monopoly actions that would destroy other developers in presenting an alternative browser.
With the third-party browser, this will make the competition more fierce in improving the quality of every browser. Microsoft has taken steps that could be wrong and will eventually face charges of third parties, Harvey said, he was sampling events in 1998 when Microsoft lost a lawsuit from Netscape on similar issues.
Google also speak up by saying that the policy would limit the user's choice and the innovation that has been created by other browser developers.
However, through his attorney, Microsoft said that they restrict the browser from a third party because the chip used for mobile devices (ARM) has the power and security methods which are unique and different, and said that ARM-based Windows RT is different from the desktop version of Windows 8
