It is an announcement I've been waiting to hear for a long time, unfortunately they will just replace it with something equally loathsome. They've already have something in the works for Windows 10, I can't remember the working title, something like "Black jock Strap Intruder," or something like that. Microsoft just doesn't get that in the world of browsers you can't retain total property rights over your propriety browser and expect it to get anywhere. I have used FoxFire nearly since it came out. I think I was a beta tester on the first release. I have never used IE since, except where I had to for compatibility issues, which are generally non-existent these days. I can even update windows using FoxFire, when use to you had to always use IE. Regardless what browser MS will try and foist upon us next, I have bigger problems to fry. Somewhere along the way I am missing a Windows version number, unless Windows 95 was just an updated version of Windows for Workgroups. If not that would make 95 win 4, 98 win 5, XP win 6, Vista Win 7...So is Win 7 really Win 8, and Win 8 is really Win 9? Wait, I forgot "Millennium". It's like Madonna said, it's "Like a Version". Maybe someone could explain it to me... not Maid Donna, but the Windows missing version number(s). So is Windows 10 actually windows 12?

You're using base 10 !
Microsloth (and why the hell haven't you figured this out by now?) is baseless.
BTW, I'm running the QupZilla browser under Ubuntu Linux on a 512mb Pentium 4
that I found on the curb near my mom's old house. I did it just for fun, but the damn thing
runs great! I have Firefox on it as well, but the QupZilla cruses a lot faster on this old geezer.
