Spartan? What an odd name choice, considering it's connection to Trojan Horse which has become synonymous with hidden intruder. :lol:

Speaking of which, you and I would both be liars if we claim we used IE to read or reply to this thread!  :lol: :lol:

I'd expound on that subject but Taxed would run around gloating for a week.  :biggrin:

Based on our stats, less than 2% of members as well as guests use IE to enter this site.
Now that's a sad commentary.

A related item about future Micro-shaft browsers....you will have to manually set "Do Not Track" features (or DNT as they abbreviate it below). DNT was turned on as the default for current Internet Explorer versions. Here's their "simple" explanation....

QuotePut simply, we are updating our approach to DNT to eliminate any misunderstanding about whether our chosen implementation will comply with the W3C standard. Without this change, websites that receive a DNT signal from the new browsers could argue that it doesn't reflect the users' preference, and therefore, choose not to honor it.

As a result, DNT will not be the default state in Windows Express Settings moving forward, but we will provide customers with clear information on how to turn this feature on in the browser settings should they wish to do so. This change will apply when customers set up a new PC for the first time, as well as when they upgrade from a previous version of Windows or Internet Explorer.

We said in 2012 that browser vendors should clearly communicate to consumers whether the DNT signal is turned off or on, and make it easy for them to change the setting. We did that for IE 10 and IE 11. And we're continuing to do so with future versions of our browsers.
