Microsoft sleigh ride

Howdy,

Microsoft update sucks, IMO. We just skip over most of them, becuz most are for stopping problems that come from the user clicking on an unsafe link. Common sense is the best update of all.

Windows 9? We think you mean IE9. That's the latest version of IE. There is no Windows 9....in fact, Windows 8 hasn't even been released yet.

Anyway, glad you got through it all.

Hi,
I always get IE and Windows #s mixed up. Darn. Computers can't do IE 9 either.
If I had bucks, would get two top-of-the-line new laptops, one high power regular, and the other light enough to carry around (this type doesn't come with a disc slot), like the 10" Acer (if that still exists).
I don't care for tablets. They are a visual disaster for me, and a regular keyboard is required.

Thanks for encouragement,
