Kam  Please tell me that you are not an official spokesperson for Microsoft making such a consumer dismissive statement.  The bottom line is that the Edge team made a tactical error by failing to communicate with consumers before eliminating functionality that Microsoft's sales people trumpet when selling Microsoft's Surface hardware.  Communication in the multiple threads on this issue has been tone deaf.  A poor substitute for the former functionality won't cut it.  No, we won't be happy with it.  It is time for the team to start listening rather than defending a poor decision.  A remade feature has to have the functionality of the original and improve on it.  The Edge team needs to work on this feature and work on communication.  

I take a lot of flack for sticking by Microsoft through thick and thin.  I'm a former employee and had the same issues with the company in the 90's that I see here - there is a disconnect between dev and the day to day users.  Your job is to say, "I'm listening.  Tell me what is important to you."  The dev process should start after listening, not before.
