I do not support any flavor of Explorer in my Apps.
The Web framework I use contains some IE specific css, but if that fails to
handle the quirks, clients are advised to use Firefox or Chrome. End of
discussion. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Actually I think it started with Firefox in 2004. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

My bet would be a year after there is a good
workaround usable by the
average penguin. The sentence
will arrive two years later, and require
Microsoft to
do something. A year later Microsoft gets fined for
non-compliance. Microsoft will get the fine delayed
another year by blaming
the manufacturers. I am sure
that the commission will resolve this matter in
early
2019.
By the time the fine actually gets paid, the
entire PC
market will be completely different.
The real competition in OS choice will be
between
different Linux variants like Android and Tizen.
Microsoft will
lose/alienate/bankrupt its
distribution channel and become the sole
distributor of Windows computers and software,
probably by buying the
desiccated corpse of one
of its current partners. The price of Windows
will
get so high that only the mostly hideously
locked in government agencies (like
the NHS) will
be able to afford it.
I am sure Microsoft will still be a
big player
in the software market. The challenge is to work out
how.

This will be outrageous if they bought non-compliance - the months must be added
on, plus more, the fine is trivial, surely this couldn't happen. ...Surely
Microsoft's history of this type of shenanigans precedes them, the EC must not
allow this.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'm on an Asus Z77 board and a recent bios update included secure boot. l
disengaged it. I'm still on XP but have a Win 7 drive that I rarely ever
boot. Did recently and after new drivers were loaded I could not reboot
into Win 7 . . . nor could I reboot into any of my XP drives. Once I pulled
power from the Win 7 drive and detached the data cable from the MB, I was
able to boot into my XP drives.
Maybe no connection at all. . . . but somehow
doubt it. Keep in mind, secure boot had been disabled in the bios the entire
time. . . unless it enabled automatically when it sensed a Win 7 drive was
about to load. MS isn't treating secure boot lightly, although they seem to
have forgotten that the mention of "Microsoft" and "secure" in close
proximity has always provided belly laughs. It's a ruse used to strip a system
of it's basic hardware functions if anything other than their latest and
greatest OS flavor is loading. MS now owns the x86 platform? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
