I could be wrong. -T A quote from http://tinyurl.com/mw2tjom claimning to quote Microsoft’s marketing chief Chris Capossela: “We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10,” Capossela said. "We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing." Alongside Project Spartan, Microsoft will also release Internet Explorer 11 as a legacy option primarily for enterprises with applications and internal sites designed for Microsoft’s longtime browser." -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch)

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/rip-ie-...143731718.html See replies to the "No more Internet Explorer" thread in this newsgroup (and replies to your multi-posted submission in the Win7 newsgroup). The author didn't do the research. 'Long live FREE source...' Apparently you chose that as your signature. Then put it in a signature block (after the sigdash delimiter line). If your choice of newsreader does not automatically prepend "-- \n" (dash dash space newline) to your signature then you'll have to include it in your signature string.

He and others to which he proselytizes will still have to compile it for their OS platform of choice. If free source was all that was available for a program, only some programmers would use it. For the vast majority of other users, these programmers would then have to distribute their compiled copies. The majority of users couldn't give a gnat's fart about the free source. They want the freeware at which point only a small percentage care if the product originate from open or closed source.

I tend to put slogans (anyone's) into my write-only memory without thinking much about them. As a result, your analysis was informative to me. Thanks. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch)
