Hi,   First I would like to say, that it's great to see that Edge will also have support on legacy OS like Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. But I can't find on the Edge Insider website, if there will be ...

    Thank youconalw and blomsterharry.  We are working on bring Microsoft Edge to as many platforms as we can.  We just released for macOS this week.  It would help us understand the priority of various platforms if you could give us an idea of what scenarios we would unblock for you by bringing the browser to the various versions of Server.  Thanks in advance for the feedback.

        GerryG, been loving it! There is (was?) a problem with Citrix but with straight RDP I think there is none.

      Yes please. Elliot Kirk Do prioritize Windows Server 2016 and newer versions as soon as possible. And of course the possibility to run it in a terminal server environment. 

       

      Love to get rid of both IE and that "thing" from Google.

        Thanks, I always appreciate a good laugh and this ^ sure did the trick :cryingwithlaughter:  IE reminds of a old nag that is put out to pasture, but, keeps trying to come back.  "Git", already.  Go enjoy your retirement, eat grass & be happy, lol.  What?, does google have a "thing"? (wink)

        Cheers,
        Drew

      Mostly for terminal servers. Right now we hide IE and load chrome. I was hoping for a New Edge for terminal servers and for that full desktop server that needs a modern browser for application maintenance. On Server OS it's like that old google commercial, enable IE to download chrome because the only other option is IE which is no longer a viable browser but a compatibility solution. IMHO getting a modern browser on ServerOS should be higher that edge on the MacOS. I know I would use Edge on the Mac but I would probably be the minority. Most Mac users will use Safari or Chrome and will not switch to Edge.

        I completely agree with your take Rob. IE is less relevant everyday and would love to use Edge in our Citrix environment. 

        thank you
