Took the plunge on Friday

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.
