Good bye Firefox for Windоws 8, Mozilla kills the project due to low adoption
Цитата:
P.S.: Похоже что "Metro" всё таки потерпит кардинальные изменения, или, уже полгода спустя, это место займёт новое, переосмысленное решение от M$.
Цитата:
...In the months since, as the team built and tested and refined the product, we’ve been watching Metro’s adoption. From what we can see, it’s pretty flat. On any given day we have, for instance, millions of people testing pre-release versions of Firefox desktop, but we’ve never seen more than 1000 active daily users in the Metro environment...
...Instead, we pull it. This opens up the risk that Metro might take off tomorrow and we’d have to scramble to catch back up, but that’s a better risk for us to take than the real costs of investment in a platform our users have shown little sign of adopting. The code will live on – many of us feel a great attachment to the product regardless of its market – but we’ll focus our efforts in places where we can reach more people. There’s a lot more of that work still to do.

Но это, конечно, экстремальный вариант.
