install went without a hitch. I take back what I said about word 12. I think people will just need time to get used to it. It's already exposed more features I never knew how to use before (or existed) and I think that's a really good thing. I just wish there was a more consistent interface across the product line... where's the ribbon for outlook ?

Um... suddenly the download has stopped working?  Is anyone else experiencing this?

yep :angry: it took 2hr to get to 20% finished (when it shoulda been done in a half hour!!!) and now it stopped.. this is so pathetic lol.. hopefully it's back up.. or maybe I will just have to get the torrent of it since it seems that via Microsoft's download mechanism it will take a lot longer than a torrent. They should really look into that lol!!

Well I guess it's not fully up.. The website is still down but the download is working again. I just had it set to 100 tries for timeouts.. so it just started going again when I got back to the computer.. hopefully yours will work soon :)

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
