1) Separate Internet Explorer from Windows:
The first thing Microsoft should do is to Separate Internet Explorer from Windows. We know it is not easy but it is necessary. There will be a lot of advantages of Separating Internet Explorer from Windows like easy installation and Uninstallation, cross platform availability, easy update and much more.

2) Internet Explorer for Linux and Mac:
All other major browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera are available for Linux and Mac. But Internet Explorer is only available for Windows. A lot of peoples use Linux and Mac so Microsoft should release Internet Explorer for Linux and Mac.

3) Small Right Click Menu:
Internet Explorer Right Click Menu is too much crowded. Internet Explorer Right Click Menu contains more than 20 items. Firefox Right Click Menu contains 11 items while Google Chrome Right Click Menu contains 9 items. Microsoft should reduce the items in Internet Explorer Right Click Menu. Less items in Right Click Menu is better and it also makes browser lighter.

4) Separate Internet Explorer Update from Windows Update:
Microsoft should also Separate Internet Explorer Update from Windows Update. It will be better if Microsoft gives an Auto Update option in Internet Explorer like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera and the system should not required restart after the update.

I searched a lot on Google, then i found that it was because of Low Graphic Card and Linux Requires Higher Graphic Card. Only High Graphic Cards can Support Linux Frame Buffer, and if someone using Low Graphic Card then he/she will have to disable Linux Frame Buffer. Without Linux Frame Buffer the Graphics are not good, you cannot use high resolution i.e. only available resolution is 640×480.

Linux says “Linux is for everyone”, if Linux is for everyone so why Linux isn’t supporting My GX270 machine with 2.80 GHz and 1 GB DDR RAM? Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7 works fine on my machine. New Linux is only for those peoples who has higher configuration Computers.

So isn’t it better to switch to Windows, because Windows is for everyone, even for Old Computers.
