So I got to say I am kind of and kind of not surprised.
I am surprised for the fact that I thought if Microsoft was going to build a browser on an open source technology they would have not picked there direct competitor and would have used something like Firefox to build off of.
On the other note I think Microsoft has realized that Edge just sucks and it is time to build on a proven core technology that works. I think after Windows Phone they realized that to many reboots of a product is dangerous and they need to get this done right! At my work we have tested Edge about every six months as deploying Chrome makes me sick but, Edge just blow chunks and has something that fails every time which prevents us from mass deploying the technology.
Personally for me, I feel Google is the Microsoft of the last decade and is almost unstoppable. So as I always say, "You sometimes have to pick the less of two evils" which lately seems to be Microsoft. Being the dominance Google has with Chrome I would like to see something compete even if that means using the same technology.
What is your thoughts?
