Ha, I'm waiting this whole windows thing out.

I've never used windows ever, from ver 1 through the horrible 95 and NT, till v8 and onwards with it's spyware built in.

Glad to hear IE is also going away.

Enjoy your backslashes guys!

You're not the only one.

I was a Classic Mac guy. In 1999 I started using Linux (SuSE 5.1) When OS X came along it broke compatibility with all existing expensive Mac hardware, so I just continued on with Linux. Linux got better. And better. And better. Etc.

I've never owned a Windows PC.

I use Windows at work where I am not responsible for maintaining it. I use Windows Data Center, Hyper-V, etc. But I have never personally owned a Microsoft product. No need.

I actually have to hand it to you if that's true. You waited it out for like 25+ years, that's some impressive dedication. The "I told you so" attitude doesn't come off as pleasant though.

Well I can't even say "I told you so" yet.

This is just Microsoft discouraging the use of IE, Windows will still be around for a long time.

In many ways I've been lucky that I've been able to keep it to UNIX and Mac OS.
