It was a no cost option - I suspect quite a few businesses are avoiding Windows 8 at the moment because of the impact it would have on productivity being to different to Windows 7

firefox is the best especially with adblock addon but google chrome is just one nasty peice of malware in its self but if you trust and like google then fair play to ya.

explorer used to be good but tehir security updates got further and further apart and too many bad things were been reported mainly due to microsofts lazyness so i switched

Re: Bogus Emails
 
I have recently received two emails purporting to come from DHL and Royal Mail. One said there was a parcel to be collected by me from the depot, and the other said a parcel supposedly posted by me was held up at customs. Both emails had attachments which I did not open. This is a scam so be aware in case you get similar.
