My bloviated meandering follows what David Wilkinson graced us with on
9/28/2011 5:35 AM:
It seems that Windows 8 will have an entirely new mode of operation
called Metro (alongside the traditional desktop). Although primarily
targeted to tablets using touch, Metro will also be available using
mouse/keyboard on regular desktops and laptops.
Metro apps are sand-boxed and are written in a new runtime called WinRT,
using C++, C#, VB.NET or Javascript.
The developer preview already has a plugin-free Metro version of IE 10,
and they seem to be working on Live Mail also.
So where does this leave SeaMonkey/FireFox/Thunderbird? Is Mozilla just
going to concede the Metro experience to Microsoft?
Unless Microsoft seriously changes their Win8 design from what I've seen
on the Dev release, I predict they will be as successful with it as they
were with Kin/Win Phone 7/Vista.
I personally wouldn't worry about it until they produce something that
looks innovative and gives people a reason to consider it.
