"They're trying to make a new version of their operating system which denies their users choice, competition, and innovation," said Harvey Anderson, Mozilla's general counsel. "Making IE the only browser on that platform is a complete return to the digital dark ages when there was only one browser on the Windows platform."

Remember Mozilla.

Why do they have the Chrome colours instead of something Mozilla related?

Microsoft will be sued for anti-competition again.

Yet another reason not to buy Windows 8 (yes I get that they're not banning it on x86 but I like to vote with my wallet).

In before people say MS can do what they want because it's their OS (tip: they can't).

I do not approve, Micro$oft ! Already discarded the idea of a windows phone because of too little choice/freedom.

ARM processors, which power virtually all iOS, Android, and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets today, are different from the x86 chips that power PCs. The chips have new requirements for security and power management, and Microsoft is the only one who can meet those needs.

Microsoft will eventually budge, but not before release, and it'll come with a very strict set of rules.

I hate when Corporate forces user to use other than their preferences. Sorry, if it is that the case. I'm not buying that Windows or products that bans other competition. This is just foolish.
