Why did you need IE to get updates and not some other browser like Firefox? Never used IE of anything for years now. Huh, last I knew, Windows Updates only ran with IE, because it required ActiveX, which is only available in IE.
When did that change???

Been getting the updates (always by notification and manual download) for many years through Firefox. That included bumping XP up through SP3 AFAIK.
Quit IE once I discovered the bliss of AD Block etc.

Since there will be no more updates, why use IE?
