   If you're just being sniffy about my use of the browser that came with   
   the OS:   
      
   In the past, I've generally used: a long time in the past, Netsape, then   
   Firefox; on my W7 machine, mostly Chrome (though with Firefox [and even   
   IE!] as fallback).   
      
   On this W10 machine, I had the installers for Chrome and Firefox ready   
   (still do, though they'd probably immediately update themselves if I   
   loaded them), but have never got round to installing them, as Edge does   
   all I have wanted - OK, it has minor irritants (not AFAIK being able to   
   override its scrollbar design, no title bar [though that's the   
   underlying Chrome]), but I just haven't really found it necessary to   
   switch. OK, I'm probably being tracked up the wazoo, but don't do   
   anything I'm that worried about (I don't do online banking for example -   
   telephone banking serves me).   
      
   Similarly, I've not "fought" Windows as much as I have in the past: OK,   
   I've got Classic Shell, and ShutUp10, and have partitioned into C: (OS   
   and software) and D: (data), but e. g. haven't changed the default   
   appearance of windows this time. (Mainly because the old thing - left   
   over from Windows 95 I think! - that brings together all the controls   
   for screen furniture, has finally been banished from 10.)   
      
   One does get tired of the constant fighting - and I've actually been   
   able to use the computer for the things I want to _do_ (mainly genealogy   
   and downloading [mostly short, mostly music] video and audio [mainly   
   from YouTube]) on it.   
      
   I'm unlikely to ever go to Linux. (A Linux enthusiast friend gave me a   
   DVD of something I could try out [could run entirely from the DVD if I   
   wanted], a few years ago; I never have.) I'll probably stick with W10   
   indefinitely. (I have signed up for ESU, but AFAICS from "Relia",   
   nothing has happened yet - last updates were 2010-10-25.)
