I have been using Edge on Windows 10 for close to a month and have to say it is way quicker than Firefox and  catching up to Chrome, I do not usually see a need for using browsers on servers unless an update from Microsoft needs to be read an applied urgently, I have seen network administrators in the past carry out research on a problem using browsers to log on to the internet on the servers itself, I believe that the practice is a security disaster waiting to happen. I have not gone in to the technical depths of Edge but I believe it is a much more secure browser than previous incarnations.



Note to self; use client machines to research on the internet :-).

Ola folks, it has been a long time since I wrote here and I have been promising you a change in the focus of this blog, well my first post for the change begins with a change of heart at Microsoft. From going app heavy on windows 8 and 8.1 they have realised one thing, they do the desktops / laptops way better than anything in the market (sorry Apple fans) and with the release of Windows 10 to folks the world over (see previous post),  Microsoft, I believe has found a winner on its hands. There are many new features which I would be discussing on this blog and as I get hold of Enterprise copies to test them I will do some demonstrations as well, till then All hail Windows 10!

Good news, Bad News, BIG News!

BIG news from Microsoft is that Windows 10 will be available for free for users of genuine Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. So if you have not switched to Windows 8.1 and still stuck on XP, go ahead upgrade now!!!! For more on this story check it out at Windows 10 Free!
