Edge runs a modified version of the trident engine, which is pretty peppy and drops all the legacy ActiveX stuff. It is absolutely not IE11. It also seems more secure. The recent IE 0-day patch last night doesn't apply to Edge, for example. I have no idea if it will be successful, but kudos to MS on finally getting off the IE trainwreck. Now if only they'd release it for 7 and 8.
