Well my name is not the CEO of MS but Edge is a very good browser. I prefer it to Firefox and certainly more than Chrome. But I keep those as standby browsers.
Edge doesn't look like IE, to me at least.
Why does Power Plan still include IE settings?

That is not my point I tried to make.
Of course Edge doesn't look like IE that's part of the marketing as well as changes of tastes, fashion and whatever else overtime. Look at a Ford car today, one from the 1960s and one from the heyday 1918... all new and improved... Over 100 years later, still running on the same concept of an ICE four wheels with rubber tires.
But, do they look different!!

P.S. I'm already broke just keeping my PC alive, let alone replacing it with a "current model".
(Which becomes obsolete within a year or so).

Edge is not "IE with new makeup".
The difference is that IE worked. Sure, it was outdated. But it worked.
But Edge? It will not even run on any of our computers.
We click to open it ... and nothing happens. It hasn't worked for years.
But that's not pertinent. There's Firefox ... better. And there's Chrome ... even better than that.
The browser wars ended nearly two decades ago.
Give it up, Microsoft!

I also remember buying one of the "new innovation" pocket calculator having used an extremely clunky and noisy Monromatic mechanical calculator at Uni and then my first transistor radio. I resisted buying a PC until 1998. Ended up with my last-of-the-original Alienware in, I think, 2011. Back then it was a state-of-the-art gaming machine but now it's not even officially compatible with Windows `11 (thank you Rufus). It cost a tidy penny back then and now an equivalent dream PC for me would be around $12,000 US so unless I win a lottery, I'm Royally screwed.

Planned and enforced obsolescence...
In other words find another way to get at your wallet to suck some money out!
the fancy word is "economic growth and innovation"...

It wont be long before we all have the chance of buying a home quantum computer. They are already selling hybrids in China. Probably we'll see optical chips first and then proper quantum ones as they just mastered the art of room temperature super-conductivity.Last edited by Ex_Brit; 04 Nov 2023 at 05:23.
