Took the plunge on Friday

Edge: Fix up the silly address bar, and allow extensions, and it'll be up there with the best.
cheers Chris Maunder
So after the last Windows 10 update debacle and with this situation with Edge, I made my decision and i'm very sure. I want wait as long as possible! I will update to Windows 10, but not earlier as in coming sommer. Of course not also without a new big update that works. Unfortunately I have no a real choice! Because there is no enough "Grab+Drag" (the FF addon) like functionality or solution in Chrome, nothing in IE/Edge. So is Firefox the only choice to me.

You need to look closer at Cortana. It doesn't require talking to it. It does a lot of good stuff. I really appreciate how fast it finds stuff. Like, who knows where Add Remove Programs is in the settings? But just type "add remove" and you will have a choice.

OK, my OCD has been aroused. I've seen "duct" tape too often lately. The original word is "duck" tape, because water slides off of it.
Possibly, but it is a quote from a penguin... :-D
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Google "Duck Tape" and this is the first link: Duck Brand® Duct Tape - Strong, Sticky & Waterproof You are conflating the original "duct" tape name with the product Duck Tape that uses the similarity in sound to establish a brand identity. In the military we called the OD green version "100 mile an hour tape" because it repaired canvas and stood up to wind but the original use was sealing ducts in heating-ventilation air-conditioning systems. My OCD sees your OCD and raises you CDO... in alphabetical order, because that is how it must be.

Something new I thought I knew but didn't. Thanks. I'll have to come up with other excuses for my behavior. :-)

I think Edge is only quick because of everything they left out... :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Long time ago in a galaxy far far away a browser called Google Chrome gained followers with this promise...

I'm not sure what the "standard search" is. But as far as I know, in Win10, Cortana is the ONLY place to do such a search.
In Windows 7 or Windows 8.x (with classic shell), hit the start button and type "add remove", the top entry in the list that shows up is "Add or remove programs". Also, you can get there by selecting the "Programs and Features" entry in the control panel.

Actually it is Duct Tape, which is a product usually sold in hardware stores, used to facilitate the sealing of air duct parts (as seen in Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil).
And, I heard that you should never use it on ducts, especially, heating ducts.

I sidegraded to Win 10. <edit>From Win 7</edit> No serious side effects so far. Had one Web.Config messed up. :doh: Seems quite a bit more responsive. First contact with Edge. Seriously the fastest browser I've used, but otherwise it's a WTF experience. It's simply an unfinished product.
