Windows 8 970 Published by

Microsoft says it realised during the development of the Windows 8 Metro interface that it provided a better way for people to browse the web.



From Techradar:
To deliver the best browsing across all Windows 8 devices, we re-imagined the architecture and experience of the web browser, explains Rob Mauceri, the group program manager for Internet Explorer in a new blog post on the Building Windows 8 blog. While building and tuning the Metro style browsing experience for the Consumer Preview, we realised it is a better way to browse ? whether on a desktop computer with a big screen, mouse and keyboard, or on a touch-enabled mobile device.Mauceri says that as people browse more chromelessly on their phones (an interestingly choice of words), they've become accustomed to a more immersive and less manual browsing experience compared with the desktop.
