Because if they do, no one will care except a few FOSS fans and it would get flagged to death on HN.
But it's open season on MS, that's why we have three different stories on the front page reporting the exact same story, so they know how to get people riled up.
- yuhong 14y agoNot to mention that iOS is not as similar to Mac OS X as Windows RT is to Windows x86.
- maybe_someday 14y agoARM Windows will only be the Metro version with all the isolated processes, etc. While Win x86 might have that, it shares nothing else with the traditional Windows model and is it to all intents and purposes as different as OSX and iOS. I really don't see the problem with this if people don't have a problem with iOS only allowing Safari as the default browser.
- makomk 14y agoWindows RT will apparently have an implementation of the classic Windows desktop with all the traditional Windows APIs, but only Microsoft applications will be allowed to use it. In fact that's the entire point of Mozilla's complaint - the bundled IE has an unfair advantage by being allowed to use the more powerful classic Windows APIs whilst other browsers are stuck in Metro.
