[dba-Tech] Windows 8 has its limitations

Windows 8 has decided to eliminate competition by ridding itself of some of
its arch rivals. 

Microsoft appears to have become intolerant of the market forces which have
been drubbing its browser, into the ground, due to IE's lack of compliance
with Open Standards.

I am sure that MS has many "GOOD" reasons for this exclusion but if the
company had attempted such a move in the late nineties, Microsoft would have
now been comprised of a number of smaller and separate companies today. 

Unfortunately, this move may very well be, one more step towards putting
itself on the wrong side of history and going in the wrong direction of
market trends.
