Stable version of Edge insider browser
- Oct 14, 2019Thanks for the discussion. We feel this has come to a natural conclusion, so we are closing this off to new comments - it's good to be aware of using content from other sites, but we do understand this was used to help make an argument rather than passing it off as your own content. But it doesn't seem like anything productive will come from further discussion here.

I take it that you think that Microsoft intends that members of the public-at-large download and install the so-called "Stable" version. For what purpose?

If i knew that I wouldn't make this post to ask Them that.
and yes the public can and is downloading it even right now. it's been in lots of tech news sites and Microsoft knows this too and haven't taken down any of the links.
- HotCakeXOct 12, 2019MVPYes i'm sure,
when I said resurfaced I meant the link is resurfaced on the web again - tomscharbachOct 12, 2019Bronze Contributor

Are you sure? As I remember, the link to the former so-called "Stable" version was deactivated shortly after you published the URL on this Forum, and (as you point out above) the URL seems to have "resurfaced" (as you put it) to permit download of the newer so-called "Stable" version.
Whether I remember right, or not, about whether the link URL was deactivated earlier, the "new" link is identical to the "old" link that you published on 08-25-2019 05:01 AM in a thread discussing the earlier so-called "Stable" version.
I clicked on both a few minutes ago (the link in this post and the link in the 08-25-2019 thread), and both download the same file, the current so-called "Stable" release.
I think you were correct earlier in the thread when you characterized the situation as "resurfaced". Or perhaps "reactivated" when referring to the link itself.

Hold on and it will probably go down. That's what happened with the last so-called "Stable" version. This has got "ooops" written all over it.
