But MS did not prevent other browsers from running on Windows, which was the question asked.

(While I haven't tried it myself, I believe the rest of us can accomplish the same thing with a Developer Certificate.) I haven't seen anything to indicate that the main OS is turning into a walled garden. There certainly aren't any remaining surprises for Win 8 - the release preview has been in use since the Spring, and it was released to market last month. |

I'm lucky because I don't use company phones nor do I take work home. When I clock out, I don't think about work again until I clock in the next day.

This is why you don't announce a product without prices or release dates.

On the contrary, that IS why you do that. What good is having a glitzy event that is immediately dampened by price and availability date? If these things were announced at that event we wouldn't be talking about windows 8 tablets now.

You assume all publicity is good publicity.

btw: I'm not negative on Win8 at all. I'm looking forward to see what they're going to do in phones when the announcement finally comes next month. I'm just not impressed by this announcement, at all. We'll see. I thought if anyone could really take Apple's iPad to the mat and score a win it'd be Microsoft.

I disagree; I think there are many people who will buy at these prices, especially for business use. I'm planning to buy a Win8 tablet, but I'll wait and see what else comes out before deciding which one to buy.
