Microsoft Edge is indeed a very solid browser. In fact I like to share that since I had it. I never use other browsers ever since. But for me to get stuck with Bing as a defualt search engine that is not right at all Google still the best as far as search engiones are concerned

It's not like you don't pay for a pro license when buying a laptop, it's all included.

I will only ever consider S if there's a tool to circumvent this restriction, but I usually purchase durable devices like ThinkPads so they have Win10 Pro included.

Lagdroid fanboys are so full of crap. I've used Edge on my 11yo Core 2 Duo and it hasn't crashed or frozen once. Chrome and Opera on the other hand, that's a different story.

Who on earth at Microsoft thought this Windows S is remotely close to being a good idea? It's like, take literally everything good out of Windows and make a product without it.

Literally a rehash of Windows RT. Which only a handful of PCs ended up using, due to the fact you couldnt install anything on it. It failed. This will fail. Good job MS.

I find that Edge is a pretty good browser. My annoyances with it mostly stem from the fact that they've simplified it so much that some useful features are missing (eg. being able to see speed of your downloads).
I think that getting used to Bing would take some effort though.

edge is crap, it usually crashes, better than IE but still not practical. Microsoft as always sux at making a decent browser.

I agree with most here. Edge is a pretty decent browser. Bing is not so great for a search engine though. I'll give MS a tip: make your products good enough and you wouldn't have to force them on us.

I tried using edge recently and it actually froze and there was no way for me to close the window until I restarted my PC. BLECH
