Edge in IE Mode and Kiosk
Hayden Smith I can answer the IE mode question. Internet Explorer mode basically hosts IE inside of Microsoft Edge, so Silverlight, Java, Flash, and other ActiveX controls work. If you've installed Silverlight into IE11, then Silverlight content will run automatically in IE mode. Ditto for other ActiveX controls like JRE. This is what you'd expect, yes?

Fred Pullen When the IE mode is available in Edge, will I be able to debug the IE11 site in Edge just like in IE11 or the developer tools will not be available?
You may want to start a new thread for that. That way they can see this as a whole new suggestion instead of it getting lost in a Kiosk mode thread. Good luck!
Fred Pullen since IE Mode will be hosted inside Edge, will it have the same security features as edge or will it be subject to IE security standards?

j_3-f_f IE mode is effectively running IE11 hosted by Microsoft Edge, so expect IE mode to behave just like IE11 from a compatibility, management, and security standpoint. The biggest benefit is in providing users with a seamless browser experience.
- Yes, that is exactly what I was expecting. Thank you for confirming this!
Fred Pullen Will IE Compatibility View (which makes IE 11 compatible to IE 6) also be supported? Some legacy Web Sites may use this (old) technology.

DechengFan It turns out that the best compatibility for IE11 is provided by running IE11. :-) So IE mode is effectively hosting IE11, which means support for all document modes--including Enterprise Mode.
Fred Pullen Thanks for answering my questions.
