Microsoft begs you to stop using Internet Explorer
In a blog post, Microsoft senior cybersecurity architect Chris Jackson said continuing to use Internet Explorer is racking up companies a ton of "technical debt." Essentially, by continuing to use IE, organizations are creating additional costs down the line by selecting the easiest, most convenient solution now rather than the approach that is best for the long term. Jackson laid out a scenario in which a company, choosing the easiest possible route since Internet Explorer 6, goes to make a webpage today and ends up using a 1999 implementation of web standards by default.

You have taken yourself too seriously.

In order to use Edge you have to be using Win10.
If you're using Win10 with a screen reader then MS warns you *not* to use Edge because it's not compatible; you're to use IE or a third party browser instead.
So which is it? Do we use IE in order to be compatible with our screen reader or do we use a third party browser in order to be compatible with the rest of the world?
"Good luck with that" indeed.
