Hans -- Thank you for the link. But the article states that EU currently does not see that MS is limiting somehow third party development under WinRT, doesn't it? ""We have looked at Windows RT, and on the basis of our investigation so far, there are no grounds to pursue further investigation on this particular issue," Joaquin Almunia, the EU's head antitrust official, said at a news conference Wednesday. "But we will closely monitor all the elements of the Windows software and how Microsoft complies to [its] commitments." Almunia's agency fielded complaints last summer that accused Microsoft of stymying other browser makers' efforts to build software that runs in Windows RT, the offshoot of Windows 8 designed for ARM-powered tablets." In Win8 you can unpin IE icon from desktop taskbar, you can setup Google Chrome or whatever else browser you like, set that browser a default one, remove IE tile from "Metro style" START screen etc. Thank you. -- Shamil Пятница, 14 декабря 2012, 7:15 от Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: > >Here you go: > >EU antitrust regulators let Microsoft limit browsers on Windows RT - >http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9232884/EU_antitrust_regulators_let_Microsoft_limit_browsers_on_Windows_RT > > >Best regards, >Hans-Christian Andersen > > >On 14 Dec 2012, at 02:57, Salakhetdinov Shamil < mcp2004 at mail.ru > wrote: > >> <<< >> On WinRT, Microsoft restricts access to APIs to the extent that its impossible. >> Please provide links on information proving that statement. >> At least for WinRT one can develop apps using HTML5 and JavaScript running within IE instance probably - do you mean WinRT will block external third-parties API/Web services calls even in this case? >_______________________________________________ >dba-Tech mailing list >dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com >http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech >Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
