Please don't ship the new Edge out of beta without these features:
from most important to less in my opinion
1. Set Tabs Aside
2. Ask Cortana
3. Better Integration With native Windows 10 features (for example: native share dialoge, Acrylic material etc...)
4. The Shelf UI for bookmarks, history & downloads etc...
5. Add Notes (Inking)

@rjansen85 Edge on iOS is not the same Edge as on Windows. Edge on iOS is a skinned version of webkit/safari. Edge on Android is similarly already built around Blink (Chromium). Edge on Windows 10 was/is the outlier. This is one of the reasons why performance on mobile (Android/iOS) has already been at parity with the other major browsers for a while.
I see the decision here to be in perfect harmony with Microsoft's plan to abandon a unique mobile ecosystem and focus more on services.

@benpal -- Yes, share! I had forgotten about that. I send stuff that way to my wife who has her own office.

Gee, you guys. Did you even bother to read the initial press release -- this is still very early days for the new Edge, with lots of features known to be currently missing. Chill out, they will come.

@Chris Cochrun , I can't deny the use of inking on Edge, specially over PDF files. I used inking to put notes on PDF manuals and textbooks when using the old PDF Reader from Windows 8/8.1, and would use Edge's inking space to do the same if necessary. I still use it to highlight stuff on webpages or help giving instructions to other people through chat. There's nothing like doodling arrows and circles/boxes to get the idea through.
But by experience Edge can't really work very well with all types of PDF files. It struggles a lot rendering very complex PDFs with intricate vector graphics and details, which are common in architectural reports, civil engineering projects and territorial planning. Those absurdely complex files are much better delt by Adobe's Acrobat DC, which render and scroll those pages much faster and efficiently than Edge, which almost crashes under the load.

I prefer the edge fluent design.
Also, cortana feature should be optional. Here's why, cortana does not support some languages. (It will be a waste of space for me since i can't use cortana in my native language)

@19lmyers I hate this so called feature 'preview tabs' the most.

@Deleted For such an early preview, you can't expect more things than the fundementials... As i said multiple times that new features and existing features from the old Edge will come soon, in the incoming days, weeks or months.

I would like to see the ability to directly open an InPrivate window from the right-click menu of the taskbar icon.

It's already there at least in Canary builds. Actually most of the basic web browser features are already here in Edge Canary, thanks to being based from Chromium.
@archtech You can't from the taskbar icon right-click menu in Edge Canary. The only ways to open an InPrivate window in Edge Canary is from the ... menu or <ctrl-shift-n>. If I want to go straight into InPrivate mode with first launching a normal mode Edge window, I can't do it today. You can do it with the old Edge and IE.

@Al Grosser What version do you have? Maybe there is a bug? Can anyone confirm?
