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. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/10/mozilla_google_win8_arm_browser_dark _ages/ 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.
