You're trying really hard to make it sound like a bad thing that Microsoft finally stopped their awful practice of dragging forward a huge stack of backward compatibility, wrote a new API to replace the cruft, and is working on writing new technologies to use this.
The reason that Edge requires Windows 10 and not Windows 8 is that Microsoft bungled Windows 8 structurally, and they don't want to write their software for "sinking ship compliance".
- eropple 11y agoYup. I literally never thought I'd see barefaced attempts at FUD over making things better, even when it's Microsoft. Some people are impervious to irony.
- balls187 11y agoI don't think you understand the definition of irony.

Straw Man logical fallacy. I am simply saying the following is a fact: Edge is coupled with Windows 10. Based on a previous comment to the effect of: "It's not coupled but requires windows 10 API's" Whether or not that is good,bad,or indifferent I make no judgement on. Especially given that both Chrome and Firefox are really great alternatives and are on a lot of platforms already.
