UX & User Research
Market insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team
Desktop / Platform
- Google launched the Get Your Google Back campaign. This effort targets Windows 8 users, showing how to put a link to the Google search engine on the Start screen and how to make Chrome the default browser.
- The Chrome Remote Desktop tool left beta and is now generally available as Chrome extension.
- Chrome 24 will ship with Shadow DOM and MathML, and the webkit prefix for window.performance.now() has been removed.
- Google launched Free Zone, a tool to use Google Search, Gmal, and Google+ on mobile phones without incurring any operator data charges. Optimized for feature phones, it is currently being tested in the Philippines.
Microsoft
- The European Union has ruled that Microsoft need not be forced to open its Windows RT operating system to rival browsers.
- The EU, however, also sent a formal Statement of Objections to Microsoft regarding its removal of the browser ballot screen in Europe from February 2011 to July 2012. Microsoft has 30 days to respond, at which time the EU may choose to fine the company.
- The Microsoft BUILD conference is underway, and the company is offering developers $8 developer SDK accounts, $92 off the regular price
Opera
