Perhaps, but at least there will be more players in the game this time. Thanks for the ping ;’)
True, the more competition the better. Long since time for IE to die, and Edge is a very worthy replacement for Windows systems.
Dayglored's Wish List
1. Back-port Edge to Windows 7. Win8 optional.
2. Make Edge run on RedHat/CentOS Linux, and Mac OS-X.
If Marketing wants to have Edge take off, don't step on user preferences -- make it available to everyone, especially those like yours truly who requires a cross-platform browser.
