I am however planning on download Chrome and use that instead.

Thank you all for your help.

Notice that MS never admitted they had a problem. That's troubling.

Folks, this isn't going to get better. Microsoft is devolving before our eyes, changing from Dr Jekyl to Mr Hyde, and unlike the story, the real transformation is usually a one-way deal. Even if you LOVE Microsoft, it's time to formulate and get comfortable with an exit strategy.

Barnacles Nerdgasm loved Microsoft. He worked for them for fifteen or twenty years. He led development teams. He was laid off with everyone else who represented the idea that prosperity comes as a side effect of service to mankind. Representing truth is sometimes costly. But it costs less than joining the thugs.

As companies like Adobe realize that Microsoft no longer serves the needs for which it was created, they will move to other operating systems. After all, who has more money to spend for applications, one who spent $100 to $200 to buy Microsoft Windows or someone who uses a free operating system that works much better?

When these commercial companies pick a preferred Linux distro, that will finally give the Linux world a nucleus. Not that other distros will go away, but they will make good and sure that they are compatible with whatever preferred distro, I predict Ubuntu, the commercial world selects.

There will be some distros who retain Linux' traditional hatred of all things commercial (the hippies of Linux, cute, harmless and fun. They tend to be very creative and benefit the ecosystem. If you find one you can feed 'em). That also will be healthy for everyone.
