With a deft side step, Microsoft appears to have outflanked Do Not Track opponents, like Google and Facebook who depend on tracking for their advertising.

blog post, Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch explained how IE10 would handle Do Not Track preferences:
DNT will be enabled in the "Express Settings" portion of the Windows 8 set-up experience. There, customers will also be given a “Customize” option, allowing them to easily switch DNT "off" if they'd like.
