Microsoft finally get it right!!!!

For two years I've not been able to read 'todays posts' and 'new posts' on here. I can read them via other browsers but not via MS Outlook.

Well yesterday my lap top spent over an hour 'reconfiguring' itself, and lo and behold the 'todays posts' and 'new posts' can be viewed, glory hallalula

What's annoying 'tho is MS will never admit that their browser was wrong to begin with, sometimes I wish computers and Microsoft in particular had never been invented.

Outlook is not a web browser.
Internet Explorer is Microsoft's web browser. You probably had a setting flagged which prevented you viewing the posts you mention.
When the updates came through this probably reset your browser and fixed your problem, or maybe gave you the new IE version. IE10 is out now and would have been offered to you in the update list.

(MS Outlook is part of the MS Office Suite and is a personal information manager (PIM), confusingly it is also the name MS use for their online mail service.

Yes of course keep getting them mixed up, it's partly my dislike of MS maybe not justified but that's how I feel.

When it did this huge re-configuration (In four parts and taking over an hour ) it didn't offer me any updates, although it nearly always does a lot of updates every time I shut down, why do MS think it 'normal' to keep making changes
