> I'll tell you more guys. I've updated to windows 8.1 on my tablet a month ago through MSND subscription and Google search worked just fine. Looks like this problem appeared after public availability of Windows 8.1. So I believe it's something that Google or Microsoft should figure out.
How could they have tested as they were not on the list until, what appears to be, the public release?
To score some cheap points against a competitor you made your own product inferior. Good Luck with that attitude.
We're very proactive in our compat outreach and we've had numerous conversations with sites like Google. Sites like Google are VERY aware of the CV list & the modes they're rendering in; it's not a surprise to them.
Don't assume we're doing something nefarious when it's not the case. We have nothing to gain (and a lot to lose) by breaking one of the top web properties, even if they're a competitor.
Here's a more plausible scenario. Google may have made a change to their SERPs which didn't work great in the docmode that IE11 is rendering it in. Nothing intentional, nothing nefarious on either company's part.
I think that's a more reasonable explanation than the concerns you're expressing.
[1] If it had worked fine, it would never have been added in the first place. [2] Sites like Google are VERY aware of the CV list & the modes they're rendering in; it's not a surprise to them.
Those 2 together are suggesting Google knows problem all along and you have been working with them but they didn't fix the issue.

If a site is on the list and they declare "edge", will they see the real ua string? What can someone on the list do to get the real ua string?
