jQuery for Windows 8

Specialized jQuery for Windows 8 apps development.

Why need a different jQuery for Windows 8?

Compared to normal browser environment, Windows 8 (metro apps) introduced higher security level for JS/DOM. You cannot simply put dynamic content into innerHTML, outerHTML or document.write. You must explicitly disable this restriction by using 'execUnsafeLocalFunction' method.

For more information, see this great article - Windows 8 – Using jQuery for app development

Reduce Loading Time

In addition, all js files need to be UTF8 encoded with BOM in order to enable bytecode caching.
