• Google Chrome won’t be allowed on Windows 10 S

    Posted on May 10, 2017 at 05:05 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    If you haven’t read Ed Bott’s latest ZDNet article, and you’re even remotely interested in Win10 S, hurry over there and absorb it.

    The approach — forcing browser makers to use the native plumbing — isn’t new. Apple requires iOS browsers to use WebKit, for example (see Paul Krill’s article). We saw something similar with the IE-as-default wars in Windows 8.

    Microsoft’s between a rock and a hard place, but the decision doesn’t surprise me at all. What does surprise me is that it’s laid out in black and white. I expected to see months of waffling.

    In my opinion, keeping Chrome off Win10 S is just another nail in Win10 S’s coffin. But it really couldn’t be any other way.
