@CarstenVollrath183 YES! We'd love to have this too! We're working with Citrix and users connect to a Windows Server 2016 (and soon 2019) with all the Office and other business tools. And so we need the new Chromium Edge on this server too, otherwise we have to choose a diffrent browser since IE and current Edge are officially reported as dead.

+1 we also need Edge Chromium for Server 2012 R2 too !!!
@Elliot Kirk: Can you give us hope for this?

When can we expect an EDGE Chromium version for Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 ?

It looks like there is still no updates here from MS.
This is something that should be done.

On this link, it looks like they will support Server OS:

Thank you very much Microsoft :)

In this thread from @blomsterharry they discuss the same topic too: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Edge-support-on-Server-OS/m-p/814798

@HotCakeX I think he want's to use the new Edge INSIDE the VDI, not for the portal website. This may work with IE, but many other websites the users want to visit are turning their backs on IE, so we need a diffrent browser like Edge. I assume he has the same needs as all others of us, writing in other threads like the one I linked above and where you already joined the conversation.

@HotCakeX Yes, and in our case the OS of the VM is WinServer2019, where 10-15 users are working in the same VM. So not classical "1 user on 1 VM VDI", but "many user on 1 VM VDI" (VDI/TS/whatever). So that's why we need Edge on WinServer. But with the RegKey in this thread it runs on WinSrv2019: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Edge-support-on-Server-OS/m-p/574383
But you already know, as you commented there as well. ;)
PS: As you seem quite fit with WinServer, do you have any hint for me using "Snip & Sketch" on WinServer? Details here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Server-for-IT-Pro/Snip-amp-Sketch-on-Windows-Server-2...

Nope, none of them are officially dead, not even close.

@HotCakeX
For me, if someone says, that this will be the "last major version", he thinks about the last breath of this tool. Maybe my translation is bad, as EN isn't my mother language. But in my ears this sounds pretty like the end of IE.

And that the "old" Edge won't live beside the new, chromium-based Edge, is for sure. Why else would they give it the same name. They can't call it "New Edge" or "Chromium Edge" for the next 10 years... ;)

Okay so both the guest and host OSes are Windows server 2019.
I've never encountered any errors or need for custom registry modification to run Edge insider on my Windows Server 2019. i'm currently virtualizing 3 of them on Hyper-V that is on Windows 10 insider fast ring build 18985 (my main Host)
Windows server 2019 fully updated and virtualized + Edge insider Canary latest version.
Edge has no problem running either on normal Windows server 2019 or virtualized Windows server 2019.
I've also installed it on Windows server 2019 data center edition as well as Windows server vNext edition (Insider) core edition.

well I'm Not saying what that person in the video says is %100 true and fact. but he is a Microsoft official and he is right about flexibility and all that stuff.
though you can wait for newer official statements like that from Microsoft in the future to be more sure but for now that's the most recent one.

@HotCakeX I managed to view the video now in IE (both old and new Edge have probs with scrolling ;) ) and understand what you're saying. And maybe it approves what I assume: They integrate IE in Edge, so they no longer need IE itself as a program the user needs to be aware of. :)

@HotCakeX Hmmm... Let's see where this journey ends. I'm curious which browser(s) will win the race. Or (although I hope it will not happen) if MS loose the browser-fight against others with this strange strategy of multiple browsers (and only 2 names for 4 browsers)...
