As I reported earlier, they even built Firefox on Windows 7 machines (look at 98.0 release notes - it's a W7 context menu). They're trying everything they can do now to make more people use their browser. Cutting of Windows 7 will make a majority of people stop using Firefox, so making Firefox lose even more market share. I dont think Google will be interested in expanding their partnership, if Mozilla loses more users than they already did. Firefox has a world-wide market share below 5% and Google has a contract with Mozilla that expires in 2023. To be honest, I dont think that Mozilla will stop supporting Firefox on Windows 7, since their current situation depends on user numbers. I'm not sure what the point is of this function the documentation page says a lot about UWP usage, and a few extra flags which CreateFileW may be also be able to use on later OSes. Tonight, I noticed UserBenchmark calling this Windows 8 function. HANDLE CreateFile2 ( LPCWSTR lpFileName, DWORD dwDesiredAccess, DWORD dwShareMode, DWORD dwCreationDisposition, LPCREATEFILE2_EXTENDED_PARAMETERS pCreateExParams ) /* UserBenchmark component UBMSkillBench.exe now calls CreateFile2, but it doesn't seem to affect the ability to perform the benchmarking process, for now anyway.
