Still, I wouldn't say this http://imgur.com/pUlXu http://imgur.com/pUlXu is the best way to drive adoption amongst the Microsoft faithful. Yes I know they need to draw the line somewhere, and IE9 (maybe IE anything... haven't tried 10) sucks, but this is quite a departure from the general Windows stance of "backwards compatibility at all costs" (why their hosts file still lives in an 'etc' directory is beyond me, for example).
Additionally, if you have cookies disabled it just sits there on the loading screen (in FF 17 at least) - I thought it was just broken at first.
- ygra 14y agoIt's a research project, not an actual product MS wants to sell. So how is this different from the dozens or hundreds of bleeding-edge experiments that demand a current version of Chrome/FF to work and refuse to do anything on any other browser?
- sturadnidge 14y agoAs I said in my comment, it's not how Microsoft have done things, ever. IE10 isn't even shipping as a final product for the most widely deployed version of Windows, and Windows 8 has basically no market share. The difference with Mozilla and Google is I don't need to migrate my entire OS to use their experimental stuff.
