Microsoft has not fixed a zero day vulnerability even though the 90 day deadline has past. . .

Edge didn’t work with the 10 upgrade. I had to redirect everything to Outlook Express or some other browser.

Those aren’t flaws. They are design features.

Let me say, as nicely as possible, that you are quite confused about computers. Or else you forgot your sarcasm tag.

Microsoft fix something?

That’s asking a lot.

I have hated edge from the first time I used it. I tried it for a week, thinking perhaps it was just me, but I have yet to see a single positive review from anyone other than MS fanbois.

There are several sites that it just will not work on at all, and dozens where it locks up, requiring a reboot, at which point MS scolds me for not following their proper shutdown protocol.

DEATH to edge!

Each Windows PC should come with “DO NOT USE MICROSOFT’S BROWSER” warning.

Win7 works pretty well, although it isn’t quite as good as XP which was probably the best OS to come out of M$.

Now M$ has the same business plan as Apple, Google, Amazon, AT&T ....

Your personal data is a more valuable asset to them than is their so-called product.

Microsoft is too busy pushing new games onto business computers to worry about fixing browser flaws.

W10 is slowly coming into my facility and the first unit I deployed went OK.

This current batch has some extreme weirdness. Outlook will not launch at all the first time on an internal network. I flip to an open visitor, it will load up. After that Outlook works normally on any network.

Still it beats Lotus Notes.

I can’t stand Edge either. I like the layout/feel of FireFox.

That must have been very difficult to browse the web using Outlook Express.

I can’t imagine any corporation foolish enough to let that spyware on their system.

Just disable all of your add-on firewalls and protections, and Win10 should run just fine. You all are probably trying to block ports that it wants to use to send your confidential information back to headquarters.

I’m still using Win7 (although they’ve slipped a lot of junk in there with their upgrades). As soon as I get time, I’ll load Mint onto the laptop I let upgrade to 10.

Depending on how things go, I might take advantage of the drop in chip prices and build myself a Linux box using a lot of parts I have left around the house from dead computers.

I’m a convert to Brave. It loads a bit slowly, but once it’s up, it’s great.

Okay okay, I’m humbled by my error. I am sure you knew I meant Internet Explorer rather than Outlook, proving that my lack of geekness puts me at a spot where the computer only needs to do the basic things. However, I stumbled through to get a couple of other browsers to use as Edge is a failure. Time for another beer.
