You don’t want to sit and stare at the screen for a long time just to see the download progress. So, you go away, and come back after some time (i.e. few hours) only to learn that Windows has gone to sleep mode halting any download session you initiated earlier! This can get very annoying. I know that ...

But it there is no denying that in desktop arena Microsoft is still THE leader with a massive user base for the Windows based operating systems.

Another feature that could be handy for some users is the placement of the FindBar according to the user preference as I noticed some users prefer the ...
