my work website that I have to use for employee information ONLY works with IE..

IEs4Linux, but you could also change your Firefox's useragent to one of Internet Explorer's or... (here's the big zing): knock at your developers' door and tell them to do a proper job.

Our corporate website has only one item that I came across that I needed IE for (I have Firefox installed, and use that as my primary work browser). But one item can be a deal-breaker, if you need to frequently access that area.

I knew it was out but honestly I am in the same boat. I have 8.04 installed on my dual boot laptop, and never used it. It was cool for all of 3 days, then I got bored with it so boot to Windows all the time.

The only time I use my laptop is for work stuff, and then my work stuff either REQUIRES me to use IE or Office, and I just don't find myself wanting to use a program like openoffice or anything.

My home pc I definately wouldn't use linux considering 99% of my time on it is used for Gaming.

same thing here, I like messing with it for a while, bu I end up in windows 99% of the time because I use my pc for gaming and school.

If you have an older version on, do you have to do a clean format to put this beta, or the final release on? or is there an upgrade option?

Your update manager will notify you that a new release is available when it is officially released and is on the repos. It will ask you if you want to upgrade.

CD tracks can be ripped (in fast or secure mode) as individual files or as a single album with embedded cuesheet. Conversion: Conversion from and to all supported formats as metadata are preserved.

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
