Well, I own two Office 97, four Office 2000 and three Office 2007 licences. All are permanent licences, so I really don't see why in the world I'd have to updgrade 'em. At present I use one 97 and all four 2000 licences, and the wife uses two 2007 ones (she actually *likes* it). with the compatibility packs, I've never yet found any document or spreadsheet I couldn't access/read/modify/print. So, I really don't know what forces others not to keep using what remains working just as it always did. Of course, when not using one's own machine, it's different. But who can be half as productive in a public/shared machine, anyway, as one is when using one's own? BTW, @glnz, you've passed the 150 posts mark some time ago, so it's now irreversible... (of course, you can remain in denial, but you'll eventually reach self-acceptance) you've morphed into a die-hard geek, already!!!

Bring Bill back and bid Nadella begone!

Resistance is futile... prepare for assimilation!

Sure! Soon enough.

I say: let sleeping dogs lie! You got no reason to fix what ain't broken, right? Or do you?

¿Eble мы habeamus muitos più πολύγλωσσα Mitglieder chez MSFN dan you presupune, verdad? It means: MSFN is an international forum, where only English can be used for posting. It's not optional. Did you read the Rules? Don't worry! bigmuscle is around and the project remains alive... Hang loose!

MSFN est um forum internacionel, où on post exclusivement en Anglais. Ça n'est pas optionel. Est-ce que vous avez lu les Règles?

Interestingly enough, when the user naturally speaks one of (chinese; hindi/urdu; russian; arabic; portuguese; indonesian/malay; bengali; ki swahili) there be no dragon...

Dragon Naturally Speaking still exists, AFAIK.

Of course! It does give a warning, saying it's unsupported, but if one clicks OK, it then goes ahead, installs, then just works!

Sure it does! But just a handfull is enough, it seems. Some day I'll watch the full NG, but that's not in the near future. The original series, however, I did watch in full, twice at least, back when it was broadcast in B&W...

Great!

Please feel free to go ahead and make it so.

Well, while only Tihiy can solve the question of what the installer will allow one to choose or whether it won't allow any choice, you can help making everybody less unhappy by stopping this nonsense of posting in orange negrito bold letters. TIA.

True. The only problem is that it would also be in violation of MS license and, hence, could get bigmuscle in trouble, in case he did so. So it's not at all possible. It would also violate MSFN Rule #1.b ...

And, even if it was included, that must have expired / be expiring by now (or maybe just soon), so perhaps I'll consider the update to IE11 again, later on...

... ... Well, I always avoided useless updates, if possible. Since my main browser is FF 47.0.1, I saw no need to upgrade from 10... and when I was starting to consider doing it, at long last, MS released KB3146449, a deal breaker IMO (bundled inside MS16-023: Security update for IE: March 8, 2016), so I then remained on IE10, to benefit from its inability to receive any patches from Feb 2016 !!! Now, of course, in the case of Windows 8.0 and Server 2012, it still receives updates, but IE11 refuses to install on those OSes (and there's no KB3146449 for those OSes, either... MS must consider their users as lost-case die-hards).

Another is that the full 2% growth of 10 came from 7 (if one rounds correctly, not failing to notice that less than 1% values in such a statistic are less than its probable uncertainity, and thus not significant). So it may come mostly from forced upgrades, some of which may be reversed in the near future...

One image worth many words: 10 => 21%; XP =>10%; 8.x => 10%; 7 => 47%; Vista => 1% !!!

You got that wrong, Noel: 10 is braindegrading, not biodegradable...

Try downgrading the drivers to 77.72...

Well, you should post it with "spoiler tags", of course... but, yes, you may go ahead and post the changelog, all right!

Here. But you cannot get it, you must acquire it, in case you really want it.

Yes. You might start by reading the forums, before posting asking for ideas... Read this...

It'll say: "We've offered it to you for free, but you've spurned us... Now, your Window has been updated to 10, and you owe us US$ 299. You can refuse to pay but, then, it won't boot anymore, ever... We trully hope you've understood already this is an offer you can't refuse."
