Following Apples lead, Microsoft is becoming a more closed OS. Windows 8 will no longer support an other browsers than IE and now developer's ability to push out applications using the VS express version will not longer be an option. For this privilege expect to pay $500.00...not much if you are working for a company that will absorb those costs but for small contractors it will now require a more serious commitment. http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/microsoft-pulling-free-development-tools- for-windows-8-desktop-apps/ Whether this will impact sales and development in the new Windows who knows but it is sending a signal that two of the major desktop/note pad Operating systems, Apples and Windows will now be closed.
