Nice! I wonder, will they eventually do this with their Chromium-based version of Edge?
- talawahdotnet 8y agoYea I really am hoping their Chromium based browser gives them the combination of broad compatibility and enterprise integration needed bring about the end of IE 11.
- untog 8y agoI can't imagine they will ever push their Chromium reboot as a replacement for IE, it would break brittle intranet sites everywhere. Hopefully as a separate download, though.
- saidajigumi 8y agoIt should be noted that Microsoft has a history of massive engineering investments in backwards-compatibility, esp. around Windows. I don't know that that's the case here, but there's certainly cultural and technical precedent.
- WorldMaker 8y agoTheir blog posts claimed they are planning for a Windows 7+ version of Chromium-based Edge, and may explore cross-platform beyond Windows.
