Iirc the article said Cortana was to be used to learn what version of
WinTen was being used on a pc.
When I read the article I thought it looked like a quick way to get that
info.
But I haven't any plans to start using WinTen so I really don't know
anything about it by experience.

I read messages from BBS Users (and others) to learn about what they like
or don't like about the OS they use.

I was using Win95/98 until 2006, then I started using XP after reading
BBS messages from Users giving it a good report.
Lately all I read about XP is that it isn't a good OS to use anymore.

I see Mark sent a message about Javascript/JAVA to You.
Before I Log On QRZ now, I learned that I HAVE TO enable s3.Amazonaws.com
in NoScript or I will get that error message from QRZ too.

I have Opera's browser too to use if Firefox quits working or it can't
get a web page to open.

 HG> So consequently I'll stay out.

I just tried Opera to log on QRZ, and it worked for me.
Opera didn't gripe a bit.
I looked for OH0NC and got the page asking if I wanted to add it to their
database, I didn't.

I looked at my page twice, when I was Logged In and after I Logged Out.

I found out the second time all it showed was the message I had saying
what my old Call Signs were, when I clicked the Second Tab, it said I had
to be Logged On to read what was there.

The Second Tab is where I see the HamGrid option, that is just below the Map.

The HamGrid has options to show the QTH of other Hams in the area that is
being displayed in the HamGrid window and what Grid their QTH is in.

I guess You will have to Subscribe to put OH0NC in the QRZ Database.
