Why should there be a difference between x86 hardware and ARM hardware?
Because the only way to legally determine that Microsoft was a monopoly was to limit the market under consideration to x86 based PCs.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft "Judge Jackson issued his findings of fact[13] on November 5, 1999, which stated that Microsoft's dominance of the x86 based personal computer operating systems market constituted a monopoly".
The only problem I see with MS's actions is that, according to some other posts here, the standard says that DNT must be non-default. So by making it default, they're breaking the standard. I'm all for not-tracking, but if everyone's agreed to a certain standard and that it must be implemented a certain way, then they should follow that or else try to get it changed (good luck).
They changed the (yet to be ratified) standard specifically in response to Microsoft announcing that IE 10 would default to on.
Seems to me that MS could get around this by having something in Windows that pops up the first time someone starts up IE, which asks them "do you want to enable Do Not Track?", with the "No" box being checked by default, but forcing the user to click "OK" to select this, and allowing them to select the "Yes" box first if they want.
Actually the standard says not to default in either direction. However, in response to this Microsoft have changed the first run screen to include this choice.
which would list something like
javascript: unsafe
java: safe
flash: safe
going outside: unsafe
If the same speed of growth would continue Windows would be over sooner than you think.

You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all alike.
