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?

Because this thread was already made, I will use this one rather than make a new one. This question is for microsoft developers, what will happen to standalone IE when the new edge with IE mode gets released? Are you going to remove standalone IE entirely or just keep the executable only and have it redirect to edge in IE mode like how starting with internet explorer 10 using 32 bit on a 64 bit OS would just redirect to the 64 bit version of internet explorer.
