Sorry Microsoft but I don't want to be treated asĪ 4 yr old with dumbed down OS controls and loss of MY PC rights to change things on MY machine. I resent a company pushing to end IE6 so they can see the buy cycle and upgrade from consumers. Software/media/hardware companies on software design rather than the majority that buys and uses the product. I hated Vista, I've even bought windows 7 for "someday" but I resent a company making my choices for me and serving It asked if I wanted to install updates, I said NO and unchecked the box, WHAT HAPPENED? it went to business of installing updates.

I'm genuinely Windows XP is still a popular OS by usage, though Windows 7 has been widely accepted as the OS of choice, and Windows XP still is an option on most notebooks. Would it be possible to put Internet Explorer 9 on Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 3-officially? ![]()
