Please read:

> - Will <meta name="viewport"> be supported on Windows phones?

I think so - but i'm not sure. So far i've tested this with Webkit in
Android and iOS and Opera - but i think, Windows Phone will also support
this, as it is the usual way to create a "mobile" version of a website
(e.h.: <http://m.arnowelzel.de> compared to <http://arnowelzel.de>).
