Saints alive NO! I've barely gotten used to IE 10.
At this point, I've stopped using IE when I can and am sticking with Firefox: at least they can keep a consistent interface across builds.

It died a very messy death after being involuntarily upgraded to IE 9.

Since I've installed it I'm hearing the Indiana Jones OST at full volume in my head (which probably means that something is wrong) but it looks exactly the same... Probably a Little bit faster...

Hi Joan, does the Indiana Jones OST shift pitch slightly after you've turned the computer off ?

It's fast, I set it as my main browser, back from 5 years of Chrome!
The only 2 strange thing I had:
- after setting IE11 as my default Chrome start page is bing search and I can't change it! 
(Well, I can probably change it, but I can't change it back to most used sites page  )
- when I write a new message on CodeProject forum I don't have the smiley list, it's al ink to another page instead..

I alternate FF, Chrome, IE11 and Opera on my work desktop.
My subjective impression, not supported by any factual data, is that IE11 is OK. Neither the best, nor the worst.
My criteria are:
1. Speed
2. A small subset of the developer tools: I frequently check which CSS rules apply to an element.
3. A small subset of CSS3 support: RGBA, box and text shadows, rounded box corners.
In all these, IE11 is in the front line. IE9 was (in my opinion, which is just an opinion) way, way behind; IE10, not there yet, but closer.

Seriously, The end users just love to say well just hardcode it to always work that way. At least with GOTO they don't know it exists. With Hardcoding they have heard it and the users like it because it sounds like a sledge hammer to them and they love to sledge hammer things into submission.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell them.
goto is not bad at all.

End users typically don’t understand and misuse and abuse technical terms. A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Off Topic my favourite goto label was hell, saw it in a code review
//error handle
goto HELL;
still makes me chuckle!

Reminds me of CHILL, the ITU standard language for programming digital phohe switches. The keyword EVER was defined for the FOR loop, so to set up an infinite loop (which makes perfect sense in telephone switch software), you wrote FOR EVER ...

GOTO was never the problem-- prevalent abuse of the keyword and poor code structure was the epidemic.
Still, one tech writer writes an article calling a simple op-code "evil" and 30 years (or thereabouts) later we still think anyone using a GOTO command is a programming idiot.
To this day, all tech writers must earn my respect before I trust what they write.

If GOTO is bad, why do all processors have them (jumps)? I always snarled whenever some idiot would proclaim that if it were in their power they would eliminate assembly language.

I agree, I learned to program before structured code and GOTOs were necessary and I certainly spent time digging through code that loop-de-looped because either the programmer thought they were clever, didn't want to restructure the code, or were incompentent to begin with. See this[^], actual production code from a commercial database program from the 80's. Needless to say, we trashed that code as soon as we found it. The original programmer thought he was genius as evidenced by the thousands he was making a month in royalties.

No tech writer ever told me it was evil. Nor did common knowledge. I know from personal, painful, first-hand experience. Things got a lot more manageable when function calls were invented, but by then GOTO had its bad reputation. And back before function calls, it wasn't abuse -- it was the only way to write a program.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I actually thought of a valid use for GOTO the other day - transliterating C64 code.

This is what I got from Newegg:
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero
CPU: Intel i7-4770K 3.5 GHz
Memory: Trident X series DDR3, 2 x 8 GB
Graphics: Asus GTX 660 Ti 2GB
System drive: Samsung 840 Pro series 256 GB SSD
Data drive: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB 7200 with 64 MB cache
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Case: Rosewill R5 mid tower with plenty of fans and a very roomy interior
Power: Rosewill Lighting-1000
I had forgotten to get a CD rom, so I picked up an LG BR-R / DVD-RW at Fry's, along with some new Bose speakers (no sub-woofer this time: the people in the apartment below me have been complaining.) Kept my 1920 × 1080 HD screen, which I bought less than a year ago. Everything running like a dream: my "Windows Experience Score" is 7.8 (and that, apparently, only because the CPU has only 8 processors; everything else is 7.9.)
I do have a question, though: the case has two fans in the front, but the MB has only cluster of pins for plugging in the front fan (there is one other fan in the back, which is plugged in fine.) Should I look for a splitter cable that will let me connect both, or will one fan be fine?
