Microsoft was never cool.Mac had the better platform but lost due to not understanding the marketing genius of Bill Gates (aka Satan) The first damn thing I do when I get a new computer is to download Firefox.

Firefox, Chrom, and Cygwin are the three must-haves when forced to work on a Windows box. Cygwin is the posix/unix “emulated” shell that basically lets you work on windows with most Unix commands just by installing some software, rather than actually install a new Unix/Linux OS.

I did that in the last week on a new Win10 Pro box. Did all the Microsoft updates, then Firefox. I’ll still use IE for Outlook Web Access, but FF for most things.
