Office 2010 Professional Plus Mozilla No plans to
 

Mozilla is ceasing its browser-development operate for Windows Mobile phones — no surprise,Office 2010 Professional Plus, given Microsoft has no plans to further that platform. But Microsoft;s browser rival also has decided against developing a Windows Phone 7 version of Firefox, officials said via a blog post on March 22.Author of the post,Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, Stuart Parmenter (technical lead of the Mozilla Cellular Team) is citing Microsoft;s decision not to allow native third-party application improvement on the Windows Phone 7 platform as its reason for discontinuing advancement. Microsoft officials reiterated last week at Mix 10 that Silverlight and XNA are the advancement environments for Windows Phone 7 devices,Office 2010, and C# is the only development language supported for now. Microsoft is including a mobile version of Internet Explorer with the platform that falls somewhere between IE 7 and IE 8, in terms of features and functionality, company officials have said.There is one third-party application which Microsoft is allowing to circumvent these rules: Adobe Flash. Microsoft Group Product Manger for Windows Phone Developer Experience Charlie Kindel told me last week that Microsoft has decided to allow Adobe to develop a version of Flash that will access the Windows Phone 7 platform natively. Microsoft made this exception because Flash is considered part of the inherent cellular experience. (A number of Microsoft;s own applications that will run on the platform also seem to have been granted an exception and are not,Windows 7 Professional, at least for the time being, built using Silverlight,Office 2007, as Istartedsomething.com blogger Long Zheng noted last week.)I;m wondering whether Microsoft will bend the managed-apps-only for any other third-party applications besides Flash. So far, the word seems to be no….(Thanks to MobileTechWorld.com for the pointer to the Mozilla blog post on Windows Phone 7.)
