basically, something that none want, none use, none care, and appear is added just for cause problems to the users that don't want (or that cannot, for various reasons) switch to a different browser (that in almost all the cases means change also OS, and in most of these cases also change their machines)

I'd estimate that upwards of 75% of new CSS and Javascript features fall into that category.

i posted on their main site remarking this, and the reply was "just buy a new PC"

I wish I could say "unbelievable," but the arrogance of some folks is totally believable. Just go out to your money tree and pluck off some 100 Euro (or whatever your local currency is) notes, and hand them to your local PC dealer. Doesn't everyone have a money tree?

And even if you're willing to spend the money, does anyone have any idea how much work goes into making your PC, well, personal? No, they want you to just throw that old PC in the rubbish and start customizing your new PC from scratch - with a new OS version that removes support for much of the personalization that Win 7 lets us do. You will have the Win 10/11 "look" whether you like it or not! Because Micro$oft says so!

I kind of have to "disagree".

We live in a world where everybody above the age of SIXTEEN or so (except me, I do not own a mobile phone!) will "upgrade" their PHONE every two to three and a half years, IF NOT MORE FREQUENTLY!

Seriously, why in *H#LL* should we, the consumer, "demand" a web site function on a PC that is MORE THAN FOUR OR FIVE TIMES OLD when the owner of that web site KNOWS D#MN WELL that the consumer ALSO OWNS A PHONE ???

No offense, but people that spell Microsoft this way are OFTEN hypocrites.  But I shall refrain into explaining why I believe this to be true 80-plus percent of the time and NOTHING more than a personification of "have versus have not".

This is NOTHING against Mathwiz but more of a GENERALIZATION to "open the eyes" of anybody that has ever spelled Microsoft in this fashion.

Sorry, just my "two cents"...  ie, 2% of that $ used in said spelling...

To each their own, of course.
