Have you ever used Windows Phone? I did for several years and you know what, if they ever release new Windows Phone with better app support I will jump on it straight away.We are lucky that Microsoft's attempt to extend their tentacles on mobile phones failed miserably. Just imagine how nagging Microsoft would have been on mobile phones, if Windows Phone hadn't disappeared. Thanks god, there still exists a world (mobile phones) that is almost Microsoft-free.
I've heard the same from two friends who used Windows phones. I never tried one but I could be persuaded to give it a whirl if it ever came back. But to the Edge story, that's just amazing. His wife was terrified ... terrified, I tell you. I needed a smile today, and that story did it.Have you ever used Windows Phone?

It is probably some truth in the above argumentation. But, it would be more convincing if MS would simply replace IE with some information about what they did and why they did it. They simply took advantage of doing something good to bundle it with advertising. I am not surprised - most corporations do similar things every time when it is possible.Edge on 7 is a security update, it is meant to replace the insecure and outdated IE. Users should be glad MS still cares about the unsupported 7.
For the record, it is not like they are forced to use it, just like with IE. It is for users, who can not install/find an updated browser by themselves.

My neighbour uses internet banking via Chrome on XP. He has got a new laptop with 10, but he does not know, how to save bookmarks there, so XP it is.It is probably some truth in the above argumentation.
Yes, that is a common problem. Many users have a serious problem when an application is changed to another one. Changing the Windows from XP to 10 can be a shock to them. But, Windows can produce more surprises for them. My mother was sure that she had got a virus when she saw the black configuration screen after a major Windows update. My friend thought that Windows was spoiled, because after updating to ver. 1903 the login screen background was blurred. Such problems are common for the 60+ age generation.My neighbour uses internet banking via Chrome on XP.
