Yes I did use IE11. It is an improvement, but no, Google Chrome is way better! 
I respect your motive too, but I also have right to say and do what I like. Don't I ?

Well yes, but it will be only until you open the Task Manager and see its RAM footprints.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

There's no point having RAM if you're not using it. So long as it can be reclaimed in the event something else wants great chunks of it too, large memory use is a good thing.
That's exactly why the memory footprint of Windows at idle is so large - you may as well use it if you've got it.

Sure it is, but large memory use by a browser is certainly not a good thing especially when you are having other important memory-intensive applications running and "trivially" using a browser (with at most a couple of tabs open).
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

CEO Brian Krzanich just announced a major extension of that focus at the company's CES keynote presentation with the Intel Curie Module. It's a low-power hardware module that could be used to build wearables out of things like rings, bags, pendants, or glasses. Dang. Swallowed my computer again

The slowest thing to change in the world is human nature. It’s easy to upgrade technology, but when it comes to people’s habits and beliefs change takes time. Some people just need to wear pants

What I'm surprised businesses haven't caught on to is paying the employee less for working remotely. After all, they incur fewer expenses in fuel and vehicle maintenance, wardrobe, etc., so why should they get paid the same as the guy who spends $50 a day commuting -- an hour or more in the car, tolls, subways, eating out for lunch, etc.
Besides, I think Scott doesn't want to speak the truth -- it's not people's habits, it's a control thing. Managers want to pretend at playing at God and have control over their peons.

Ding ding ding! Yup.
This was entirely the issue when I was back at the Fish Shoppe. They had the technology (heck, they sold and pushed the technologies), but managers just wanted to see butts in seats. Or better yet, wasting away in four or five meetings a day about their lack of productive work.

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! 
Having worked remotely in previous jobs, it comes down to the level of laziness of the people in charge. Holding people accountable for their work and having a level of trust is critical - otherwise this will never work.

The flip side is that if you work at home, you never leave work. I've been working at home for 12 years along with associates of mine...some work at office and some at home...the ones at home seem to get a lot more work done.
I have spent lots of years in the office environment though, so I think once you have your work habits set, you're going to be productive wherever you are.

Everything you said is so true.
I have no idea why weather-inclement days they would want us to drive in but they do. Waste all that time shoveling snow and commuting and being tired and all that. PLus there are savings from energy costs but they don't even talk about it. It's all about control.

Too easily distracted. I "worked from home" for six months a while back and got nothing done.

Same here. I've never done it long term; but do every once in a while when something comes up. I generally end up spending the hour I saved in the car making up for all the times I distracted myself and get 8 hours of work done about the same time I'd be unlocking my front door if I'd gone into the office.
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?

Now, I don't know what average level of services there are abroad, but here in Italy the top speed of a flat connection is 20 Mbps, only in a few selected areas. Most of the country still has 640 Kbps access to Internet, with only 128 guaranteed. Not only that, but it is perfectly normal to have 2-3 weeks of downtime each year, intespersed as contiguous hours, days, even weeks, flickering connection... Especially in the areas where it would be needed to reduce commutations.
I had Internet access 2 years ago, after 8 years I lived where I am - and only because some generous and small company issued a radio bridge to connect the surrounding hills to the net. Of course we still have downtimes, especially when there's wind or rain - how do you explain that to a boss?
Also, the equipment: is it mine, under my responsibility? Because if it is mine I can install games, watch pr0n (after work time, of course) and catch virusses and malware or install pirate software, without company control. If it belongs to the company then it is the comany that should ship it to me and guarantee it works, do the maintenance etc.
Also, associating home with the workplace sounds creepy!

I work to live, not live to work.
The office is where I work, home is where I live.
I'd rather be phishing!

On occasion, I do work from home. I will be working from home tomorrow when the temperature is starting in the single digits; I plan to keep the wood burning insert full and generating as much heat as possible that way.
However, there are occasions when I prefer to be in the office, despite the commute and paying for parking.
When we have departmental meetings (weekly), I prefer to be in the office, not on a conference call. A large percentage of communication is non-verbal and I can't read reactions over the phone. Also, when calling in, it is not always easy to clearly understand what people are saying. Quite often, multiple people will speak at the same time and the conversation is then garbled.
If I have to print something, like a manual, I'd MUCH rather use company resources that my own.
There are benefits to working from home, but it isn't for everyone all the time.
