We all know...

You know, whilst y'all are beating me up for running a vm, you have completely missed or ignored the point of what I had written. That being the positive performance of Edge as indicated by it doing very well on a measly vm.
Maybe, I should throw it back on an hard drive just to get y'all off my back. Nor do I appreciate the insult that I don't have the means, smarts or can't be bothered. Plus there are countless Insiders, some run Win10 one way, some another and most all of us contribute valuable input. Yet, you climb all over ONE person like a crusade against all the idiots using virtualization.
Meanwhile we have spent years trying to prevent people from putting betas on daily-drivers... which, is not the same as having it on a physical SPARE BOX.
The WIP & others seem to be cool w/ what I do & offer to try to be helpful to others. I'll be grateful for that and not, dwell on a couple of rare exceptions.
This forum is not a place for throwing personal insults at people. Unless you're perfect, then, apparently you can throw stones at others.
Yes, there was a tempoary issue w/ 1809 which, delayed it. The issue require a specific scenario to manifest itself & consequently affected very few Users (not that that makes anything ok, of course). The issue what addressed & then, we carried on w/ most folks, long since, moving to 1809.
To read what some people write one wonders why they are in MS Forums or messing w/ anything Microsoft.
Plus, I clearly stated there are, indeed, some limitations if using a vm. But, there is no reason or need to panic or lecture ONE person out of millions of Insiders, but, if you think there is, you best yell at all of them, too. If one wants to say a vm is wrong, putting a beta OS on a production machine billions of times more wrong; and that is not MY opinion. Don't try to invalidate it by using "doesn't count for anything because it's opinion". It is not anyone's opinion, it's fact. It is not my opinion, as was mentioned that it is emphatically stated, DO NOT right at the **bleep** download site, always has, even, pre-10. Sure, does not necessarily mean using a vm, but, sure means DO NOT put it on a physical daily-driver. So, thanks for telling I'm entitled to an opinion I don't have. And we will continue to try to keep people from doing it.
Reminds of people, when the betas started being offered to the public, trying to keep going w/ them or maybe a RTM, after release, totally afloof to the fact that they wouldn't last & then freak because, they had to get & install a proper OS.
There was an interesting message, some food for thought in what had been written regard Edge C performance. 2 of you have done a bloody good job of taking people away from that & pivoting them to a completely different & irrelevant topic. Whether it is right or wrong to use a vm for IBs, is not, was not the subject. Ergo, instead of going off-topic, things should go back to & stay on Edge C.
Maybe, a well educated, well spoken person's wording was so bad you decided they must be talking about something different than they thought when they wrote it. Actually, upon re-reading it, comments faulting grammar & spelling are groundless. But, thanks for the (kind & so necessary) input.
Please, leave pompous, judgemental attitude, insults & nastiness at the door.
Cheers,
Drew
Drew1903 as someone who works in retail and knows others who work in retail 1809 was not a walk in the park. The delays were only the start of it but as soon as they had pushed that botched Windows update we had customers coming into stores for days with bricked computers. It was complete hell. Given the profit driven nature of retail and the fact that we can't offer services for free many people were forced into buying new Windows licences as they had lost their key. To down play it is foolish and to believe the fantasy story that it "only affected 1 in 100,000 users" is naïve. To put it into perspective the population of my city is a little under 100,000 and we had well over 50 devices in one store alone within the first week. Those will have only been customers who bought devices from us!
I do also have to back the sentiment from HotCakeX. Although everyone here is gathered to test and give feedback on Edge you might be better off using a browser with a spell check to avoid the rather frequent typos and maybe stop abbreviating 'with' to 'w/' as it's only 2 characters shorter and makes your comments all the more illegible. This isn't an "attack" on you but just some pointers. As someone with literacy dyslexia I find it often challenging to read your comments. Kudos to you for winning that award this week though, pretty cool stuff.
Cameron_Bush A quiet note in support of your comments about 1809: As of the end of February, 1809 had an adoption rate just above 20%. 1803 continued to dominate, with an adoption rate over 70%. Given those numbers, the conundrum for Microsoft is whether to upgrade 1803 users directly to 1903, or to require 1803 users to move to 1809 before moving to 1903. I don't know what Microsoft intends to do in that regard, but Microsoft is at a point where it will have to decide. Because users seem to have a bad taste in their mouth about 1809, whether or not that is justified, I hope that Microsoft will upgrade 1803 users directly to 1903. 1803 was a winner, in the sense that it was adopted at a phenomenal rate, and I would hate to see 1903 adoption bogged down by user mistrust of 1809.
