My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

Yep, I wasn't especially clear on that. I am aware there's an ability to work around this (and assume this is the reference). I meant a 'supported' configuration option, perhaps one that optionally submits sites for review to include in the official whitelist...

Windows 8 RT Phone - what do you plan? - AuTechHeads Blogs

I agree Matt. The push towards "If you can't do something in Metro, just switch across to Explorer" will fail horribly on a touchscreen tablet or RT device. I can't imagine running OS X on an iPad, it would be terrible. But for people that want a device to...
