There is no other ritual that is as thoroughly dehumanizing, utterly useless, tediously time-consuming, here's-a-banana-dance-monkey-dance freak-show of zero predictive value, as the supreme haze-fest that goes by the name Silicon Valley Casting Couch.

Many of us are very likely familiar with "browser toolbars," which reside below the browser's address bar, and aims to provide "extra functionality" on our internet browsing experience. Good thing we're all in agreement then

Back in November, after a rocky landing on a comet, the Philae lander went into a deep hibernation. Now, months later, the spacecraft has finally woken up, according to the European Space Agency. "Good morning starshine. The earth says hello"

This is great news. I feared the lander was lost.

Since WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) was introduced by Microsoft in 2006 as part of the .NET framework, the platform has been on the rise in popularity among Windows developers. Don't go into the (Silver) light

Only 10%? So Visual Studio is about 90% useless?

WPF Local is the first step to open sourcing WPF. Of course, you can't tell anyone I told you this.

We just got everyone moved to Windows 7; so it'll probably 3 or 4 years before we get to Windows 10.
The problem with this is being a developer; it is difficult to properly test when a user is using a new OS with a new browser. An example is we still have 2003 Windows Servers and IIS doesn't recognize IE browsers above IE9; so certain things don't work.

IIS doesn't care about browser versions; do you mean ASP.NET?
Microsoft released hotfixes for .NET 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0 on all OSs a few years back which should resolve the issue:
Alternatively, you can set Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel" in or before the Init event to tell ASP.NET to assume that the browser supports everything it cares about.

Yes, Scott Hanselman's blog pretty much explains the problem. The __doPostBack doesn't work for Windows 8 and IE10+. The problem arose when people started getting new computers. The server is 2003, all the code is legacy, updates weren't kept up, there's no redundency, and the environment is mission critical. I didn't realize that there were some hotfixes. The hotfixes you listed looks like they'll fix the problem. I'm scared to do anything with it until my new environment is ready and migrated.
Thanks for the reply and good information.

Whoever wrote that article appears to have truly unique way to spell "years".
Slightly less sarcastically, anyone who's putting enterprise Windows adoption into the same article as the 1 year free upgrade Window without giving any indication of being aware that that upgrade program is only for consumer versions of the OS; not volume licensing has less credibility than a politician. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It does apply to Windows Pro (unless you count that as a consumer version?). But I expect there will be plenty of small businesses who are running Windows 7/8.1 Pro, and not volume licensing, and they will be eligible.

I do. You can go out to the store and buy a copy. That makes it a consumer version. You can't get Windows Enterprise/Education without signing a support contract. Those're business versions.
