[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 840973, member: 82776"] My girlfriend called this morning to tell me that all her bookmarks/favorites were gone when she opened (new) Edge. I talked (over the phone) to importing favorites. Although old Edge is gone, new Edge luckily offers to import bookmarks from old Edge. So she had not lost her bookmarks, but she told them they showed up in "imported bookmarks". Anyone had a similar experience (or were your bookmarks and passwords automatically converted)? Seems to me a bit stupid way of converting people (when you use old Edge, just copy all settings to new Edge for a smooth transition). The though/emotion that kept hanging with my girlfriend is that Microsoft messed up, lessons learned: [LIST=1] [*]Don't advise friends and relatives on what IT-stuff to buy ( I got the blame, because I advised to buy a Windows laptop in stead of double priced Apple laptop). [*]Don't explain security benefits to someone who has a "techology-intolerance" (her response: the old one never got infected, so these security benefits are as practical as glow in the dark condoms) [*]Don't tell someone who is upset that something is an easy fix when they think it is all messed up (the response I got when I told her to "just copy everything 1-by-1 from imported to favorites bar", would not pass forum moderation) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
