I have win xp which gets auto updates and downloads from microsoft. , I been hearing reading disputes warnings about if have internet exploerer ver 7 don't upgrade to ver 8 problems. Yet microsoft auto updates suggest it. so , if it caused as many problems as I have read , would not microfsoft pull it off the net and stop recommending it if problems wide spread??For the record what is a internet explorer and or firfox techliy called and there funtion? Next I read where firefox is a good back up. what is firefox ? is it simular to function of I.E> is it free where do I get it . are fire fox and I.E compatable being on same pc. what r benefits of firefox vs I.E.? I would think I.e 8 must be working ok for many with wic xp , not sure about win vista, that been problem intself.
while others state they down loaded Firefox, no mention of version, but did so as a back up . What is firefox? is it free ? where dioes one find it free download and does it work well with win xp. like i.e ver 7. can firefox and i.e 8. both be run or only one or other? Last why does microsoft autoupdates for windows release softwere like Interent Exp ver 8 when still not have all problems fixed. should't they be accountable for cost of repairs etc? what is there e mail address and phone # tech mangeament?
