Thank you for your reply.
Please forgive me if my post came across as pure criticism. However, in part it was constructive criticism. Since the redesign of the game creators website and message forum, some of the features and exhibits are no longer functional on earlier browsers. I do give credit where credit is due. The new layout of the home page is easy on the eyes and offers user-friendly navigation.
In your reply, “None of the browsers we support require a use to sign up to use the browser, it is optional in all cases. In fact I don't know a single browser that requires registration.”
One of the browsers that you recommended was Firefox. I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the installer. On the first attempt to install the browser, I was presented with a form to sign up for a free account. I declined and the installation process terminated. The second attempt to install the browser also terminated the installation when I declined the free account again. On the third attempt to install, I filled out the form and accepted the free account and the installation process for the browser completed.
In your reply, “There is no evidence to support this at all, the Windows XP market share has been falling month on month and is now only 12% world wide, most of which is in developing countries and within large enterprises that have issues updating.”
No one really knows what the worldwide percentage of XP or any other operating system is. Our only source of information in this matter originates from the marketing departments of various operating systems developers who are trying to sell or in the case of Windows 10 giving it away for free. A couple of times a week a pop-up appears on my desktop stating that 110 million users have upgraded to the latest operating system and it is time for me to upgrade for free. It makes me wonder just how popular the new operating system is when the developer has to resort using spam in order to give it away.
I agree with you that large enterprises have issues with upgrading to the latest operating system. If I were in upper management of a large enterprise I would also have a major issue with the developer of the computer operating system gleefully sharing (selling) the firm’s trade secrets to third parties (competitors).
In my original post, I stated independent developers were concerned about the security issues of the latest operating system. The independent developers I was referring to are mom-and-pop operations with little or no staff.
As for the users, I had mentioned in my original post, they value their privacy. They are not the type of users who photograph their dinner and upload the photo to their Facebook page on a daily basis.
As for the hard-core gamers I mentioned in my original post, one could regard them as a quasi-kin to the Beatniks of the late 1950s.
My original post was in part constructive criticism. It was also giving you and your colleagues a heads up on what is going on below the proverbial radar. If you wish to do a little independent research on your own just use the keywords I had mentioned in my original post when you use your preferred search engine. Most of the information will be found on other forum pages from websites across the World Wide Web. My observations in my geographical location are congruent with the postings that are on those forum pages.
To the second responder to my post
I am happy for you that you are not having performance issues that others are experiencing. As for your comment that the older operating system is a large black hole for security. Those security issues have been remedied by using in combination Anti-Malware Bites, Comodo, and the McAfee Site Guard. However, I do not believe the aforementioned remedies for the older operating system will work on the latest operating system, due to the built-in key logger that stores and transmits its log files to the operating system developer, and I don’t believe that those security measures will protect you from the built-in backdoor of your operating system.
To all who are reading my reply, this will be the only reply I will be giving on this thread.
I wish you all my best regards.
