Edge in IE Mode and Kiosk

I have read that Edge is getting an Internet Explorer mode to automatically roll intranet sites over into this mode when opened in Edge. I have a few questions or possible suggestions if they are not...

    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!
