This is a follow-up to yesterday's article.

According to someone from The Verge :

extrait : "(...) Sources at Microsoft tell us that Windows Phone has some browser control limitations within apps, and that they'll be addressed in a future version of Windows Phone. "There is also an inherent behavior of Windows Phone where playback of an HTML5 video through a web page opens the built-in media player to host the video," says Michael Choeung, a developer of third-party YouTube app MetroTube. The restrictions make it difficult for Microsoft, and others, to control video playback and overlay controls on YouTube videos. (...)"

So it is Microsoft in the first place who is unable to comply with Google's terms of services only because in Windows Phone there is a hardcoded behavior that will launch Windows media player when a video stream starts.

It is what is hardcoded in Windows Phone that Microsoft must address. It isn't Google's fault in any way or fashion.

And again it reflects on all this stuff that is hardcoded for the so-called benefit of users. Windows as we know it is not hardcoded like that. And if what happens with Windows phone is any clue of what's coming with next Windows versions, Microsoft will only have to blame themselves for losing their public.
