Make everything obsolete so the idiots will have to pay for every update.

No worries, for me anyway. As long as they keep on supporting my Windows 98 machine Im good to go.
Now if I could only figure out how to get rid of this error message.

Turns out we didn’t need the Edge.
Honestly I don’t think I ever used it. Only thing I do with IE is hit my company’s bug tracking system.

Lol. Clunky IE. Went to Netscape really fast years ago. Sometimes we were forced to use IE, but only used it when absolutely necessary.

There will be a group-policy method for using IE tabs in the new Edge Chromium. Also, there’s an extension that does that, too.
Not sure if the group policy method will allow Windows 10 Home users to do that.
It’s a case of Microsoft continuing its support for XBAP’s and such.

Im not making this up! It really happened, I tell ya.

Cool. Finally the virus OS is being deprecated. Microsoft is getting out of the OS business just like IBM did.

After promising they’d leave me alone on my home computer with my Win7, they pushed and update that forced Edge on me. I haven’t opened it yet. IE11, Brave, Chrome, and the poorly run Firefox seem to be all I need. With, of course, a secreted away really old SeaMonkey for rare occaisions.
At work, we are not allowed to use Edge at all for security reasons.

Good riddance. The Chromium engine that is the basis for Microsoft Edge 83.0 and newer is very good, and Microsoft avoided a lot of the issues that plague Google Chrome itself.

they keep changing their product names but the products themselves appear very much the same...
why not keep internet explorer and just call the “new” version “New Improved Internet Explorer” like, say, “New Improved Tide which cleans clothes just as well and no better than “Old Unimproved Tide” did

That's another good one.
Many years ago I ran across one that I can't find right offhand, but it was like this:
Title bar: "Unrecoverable System Error"
Icon: Steaming pile of poo, complete with buzzing flies
Message: "You really don't want to know what just happened."
Three buttons: "Abort", "Ignore", and "Trash My FAT".

Always avoided IE use. Had it for the infrequent times Firefox did not like some website, but that has gone away.
