When I need to do IE/Edge testing I have to fire up my windows vm.  I remember something about having to find IE in the first place (I need both) .

I'm enjoying my $5 Amazon gift cards every month. I spend about 5 minutes of each day using Edge; click.click.click....click, get my points and then close the browser, open up Chrome for the rest of the day.

Wait, What!?
You're using Edge for about 100 minutes a month for a $5 gift-card? You floozy you!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, for a few years now. 
|
|
|
|
|
Make that: You clever floozy, you.

Bing.com just gave me another $5 Amazon gift card. click...click...click. bye.

Not sure why you don't want to use edge, it crash just as much as IE!
If nothing else Microsoft is consistent......

The two big reasons I will not use Edge:
1) Security settings are non-existent. In IE I add offensive advertisement sources (like *.googlesyndication.com) to Restricted Sites, it's a built in ad blocker.
2) Every version of IE has used the "star" symbol as the favorites button, even edge mobile does this. Click the "star" in Edge to see your favorites and a "Bookmarks" window pops up... WTF is a "Bookmark"?!?! It's like the developers have never used the browser that they are trying to replace (IE)...

I thought being Microsofts b**** was part of the EULA for Windows 10?
Not that that excuses this sort of behavior on their part, but it's forced updates, dodgy practices, and 's*** like this' that are (still) the #1, #2, and #3 reasons that 'no, I really, really do NOT want Windows 10'.

For those of us who don't trust Google, Chrome is being forced on us just as aggressively.

I use Edge all the time. My only grump with it is that it doesn't allow me to choose where downloads are saved. It's a nuisance having to move files from the Downloads folder to where I really wanted them to go.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

what's edge?
Sadly is yet another 'good' thing I miss out on by running a proper OS... Not!

One more reason to tell others why I'm still sticking with Windows 7, thank you. 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I get the feeling they want to make a movie rather than a game - but man! That looks good.
Even better, it had no Win10 computers or Edge visible. 
Mind you, Halo (et al.) would make pretty good movies - better than the Doom or Wing Commander ones at least.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

With that level of graphics we may get rid off all the Hollywood stars...

You do know that the fantabulisticness of hype is inversely proportional to the quality of the product, don't you?
Either they spend all their budget on making a great game, or they spend it all on hyping up a cr@p one that's pretty to look at, but uninteresting and full of bugs.
I hope I'm wrong, even though I'll probably never play it.

Yep. Unfortunately.

Man you are a cynical old bugger, and if it wasn't so accurate it would be amusing (this from another cynical old bugger).

The line between cynicism and realism is often blurry.

"Captain wake up, something has happened!"
Oh the dramaturgy! 
Of course "something" happened, "something" is happening all the time.
It'd better be "something" of some relevance though, for you c**t to wake me
up for.
I think I'm going to reuse this in an upcoming major incident report!
Cheers!

You always this crabby when you wake up?

No, usually I'm not that kind, I don't quite know what, but I guess "something" must have happened!

So today I started to work on some C++ code, just to find that any C++ compiler beats the one comes with Visual Studio...

Why? I would completely understand if you had said this a decade ago, but it's not so bad now..
