Is Microsoft Planning to Limit Your Browser Choice on Windows 8 Tablets?

Despite Microsoft's newly upgraded Internet Explorer web browser, many people are still opting for browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. However, a blog post by Mozilla indicates that Microsoft is allegedly planning to limit user choice for web browsers on the tablets that will run Microsoft's upcoming OS, Windows 8. According to the blog post, on ARM-based devices running the OS, the only web browser that will be allowed to run in Windows Classic mode will be the company's own Windows Explorer. However, the strange thing is that it will be possible to use third-party browsers such as Chrome and Firefox in the Windows Metro mode.
