Xbox 360: Goodbye Facebook and Twitter, Hello Internet Explorer

It is almost like back in the good old days of the early beginnings of Windows and Internet magnificent when Microsoft, a bit late on the subject at all costs forced the installation of its new Internet Explorer as the default browser.

At the time of the last update of the Xbox 360 operating system, applications, Twitter and Facebook are no longer available. In contrast, Internet Explorer 9 makes its appearance. From there to see a relationship of cause and effect, some quickly reconcile: Microsoft, which prepares the arrival of Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 , seek to encourage captive users to use the browser and so it (re ) give good habits on other OS with which it connects to the internet.

However, the extent to radical it is, is not private: those who already have the Twitter and Facebook applications on their Xbox keep them, only those who had not installed will no longer do so because both apps that were available through the Marketplace since 2009 have disappeared, and will therefore pass through the only browser to see the two social networks.

An initiative that may be moderately popular, even though it is primarily a matter of principle and "ethics" anyway since it is not certain that Facebook apps and Twitter were widely used on a platform where one goes mainly to play.
