I thought it only did not allow other browsers to do JIT compiling, whereas Apple is the one who does not allow competing browsers at all on ARM (iOS).

- rbanffy 14y ago> it only did not allow other browsers to do JIT compiling Effectively preventing competitors from building accepctable JavaScript-enabled browsers. It's not that you can't make a winrt browser. It's that it'll suck.
- DeepDuh 14y agoApple doesn't allow anything other than their provided Webkit rendering engine for interpreting websites, in extension to not allowing any third party interpreters in general. They do now allow others to repackage Webkit into their browser apps, which Google has done with Chrome - albeit like with Win8@ARM they can't do JIT then. So it's not all that different actually, the outcome for the user is about the same.
