 Two weeks have passed since the popular Pokémon Go made its debut on Google Play and Apple iOS iTunes App stores, but sadly it is yet to be made available on Windows Mobile, the third biggest mobile OS platform.
To get the attention of Microsoft, some fans initiated a petition online, so that the company make efforts or at least announce an estimated time frame on when Pokémon Go will be released to Windows-powered Lumia phones; however, it did not elicit any response from the Redmond-based company.
A Windows phone user, who goes by the name Rafael Pinheiro, took the matter into his hands and directly posed a question to Microsoft on Facebook. Pinheiro asked whether Microsoft has plans of launching Pokémon Go for Windows Platform anytime soon and also threatened to discard his Windows phone if the company failed to oblige his request soon.
To that, Microsoft replied that the company has received numerous requests and is trying its best to release Pokemon Go in Windows app store soon.
As of now, Pokemon Go has been released in 35 regions, including the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the  U.K., Germany, Netherlands and other select European regions.
Due to server-related issues, Nintendo has not released Pokemon Go in its home country, Japan, but it has confirmed to expand the roll-out process to 200 countries in coming days. 
So far,  Pokemon Go has been downloaded over 30 million times and has generated over $35 million in revenue to the company.

Here's the official Microsoft Portugal's message (Translated):
Dear fans, we apologize if the comment published previously you induced in error. We have actually received requests for this application will be available for windows phone. The store windows is evaluating options to satisfy this request in the best possible way. We promise to keep you abreast of any developments.
How to play Pokemon Go:
For the uninitiated, Pokemon Go makes use of the smartphone's camera and GPS location feature to project virtual Pokemon on the screen. Players just have to go to designated locations to catch them and train in the Gym. If the players want to catch more Pokemons and consumable items in the game, they have to look for PokeStops. Pokemons can also be transferred to Professor Willow, who will reward players with candies.

Export Internet Explorer Security Zone Information

Internet Explorer assigns a security zone to any website that the user is visiting. Next to the two generic zones Internet (all that are not in another zone), Local Intranet (local sites) are Trusted sites and Restricted Sites. Trusted sites will usually have a lower security level than restricted sites. One could for instance move financial sites or sites from companies like eBay or Amazon into the Trusted sites list. Restricted sites are those that should be accessed with lower permissions. Good for websites that need to be accessed but are not that trusted. If a user accesses the Internet with multiple computers he might want to use the same security zone settings on all of them. The easiest way to do that would be to export the security zones on one computer and export them to all others instead of adding sites to the zones manually on all computers. Internet Explorer is storing the security zone information in the Windows Registry. To export the settings of the currently log
