+### Internet Explorer 10 in Windows Phone 8
-Internet Explorer 10 doesn't differentiate **device width** from **viewport width**, and thus doesn't properly apply the media queries in Bootstrap's CSS. Normally you'd just add a quick snippet of CSS to fix this:
-
-{% highlight scss %}
-@-ms-viewport { width: device-width; }
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-However, this doesn't work for devices running Windows Phone 8 versions older than [Update 3 (a.k.a. GDR3)](http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2013/10/14/introducing-windows-phone-preview-for-developers.aspx), as it causes such devices to show a mostly desktop view instead of narrow "phone" view. To address this, you'll need to **include the following CSS and JavaScript to work around the bug**.
-
-{% highlight scss %}
-@-webkit-viewport { width: device-width; }
-@-moz-viewport { width: device-width; }
-@-ms-viewport { width: device-width; }
-@-o-viewport { width: device-width; }
-@viewport { width: device-width; }
