IE10 and viewport Meta Tag

Everyone thought that with IE10 things would have been better, but Microsoft always reserves surprises. In the body the situation has improved, but something is missing in the head: the support for viewport Meta Tag, because "Microsoft choose to ignore the viewport tag".

This can give you some trouble when developing frontend for Windows Phone with IE10 browser. Luckily here http://timkadlec.com/2012/10/ie10-snap-mode-and-responsive-design/ there are some smart workarounds that can solve the problem.

One final note: on IE10 there is no longer support for conditional comments to provide alternative stylesheets, so in case you need a hack you can take a look at https://gist.github.com/4025104 (tested, it works like a charme) .
