Mozilla Firefox compatible with All OS

Unlike the earlier versions of Windows the RT version which promises to foray into the tablets will not be easier to use than the earlier versions of windows excepting the Internet explorer. This at least according to the version of Mozilla. This RT version is the upcoming version from the house of windows commonly referred to as windows 8 operating system and is designed to run on tablets. It is designed in such a way that it will come in two forms. The classical version of it along with the new stylish interface of the metro version. The classical version has its own share of loopholes as it will not allow the user to change from the traditional Internet style unlike the metro style. This was a pattern in the earlier version of Windows also. In the normal way the windows allows one to change the browser as compared to the earlier versions of windows along with the Metro.

The Department of Justice came out with this ruling that allows the traditional windows to change to a more convenient browser like the Firefox or the Mozilla. According to the Verge reports this was a ruling which was scrapped from the last year onwards. Microsoft though has its own version of story and believes that the IE can run only on the classical platform. This statement was contradicted by Harvey Anderson the general counsel of Mozilla who believes that they can run on any browsers as they are familiar with the metro environment. On his statements at the CNET.com and the blog Anderson was not uniform in the views with the fact that Microsoft is the only platform which can offer the security along with power and with its technology enabled features can run on the ARM environment on all counts.

The comments of Anderson though imposes some restriction in the user choice, aspect of competition and brings out the best in terms of innovations .Microsoft’s dominance of the browser world in the period of 1990’s seemed to be a headache for most of the web developers and was responsible for the collapse of the nearest competitor Netscape. Microsoft though is yet to open up anything official in this regard, but a host of surprises are expected in the coming days. There seems to be a sort of legal pressure and how will Microsoft cope up with this is to be seen.
