IE and XP
Also, Microsoft is giving a big middle finger to anyone still running XP. My desktop runs exceptional on XP. If I bought I newer box I would definitely use the newest Windows, but this computer would not perform well with the newest Windows.
​
MS is forcing users of XP to look for alternatives to IE. Seems to be a very shortsighted way to do business.

Re: IE and XP
At some point MS is going to stop addressing new security issues on XP, and you'll be forced to either upgrade or suffer the consequences. MS doesn't make any money on browsers anyway.
That iss why this box dual boots into Ubuntu. Though they make no money on the browser there is a financial benefit to people using their browser. If there was no financial benefit they would not have a browser.
