10 Things to Love About Windows 10

The Reign of Internet Explorer Is Over

After years of hoping that users would forget about its reputation, Microsoft is conceding that Internet Explorer’s time in the sun is over. The browser will live on in versions of Windows 10, there whenever users come across a website that just won’t work correctly for some reason.

Replacing it is Microsoft Edge, the company’s all-new browser for all devices. Microsoft Edge embraces the standards that Chrome and Firefox use instead of its own code. Later in the year Microsoft plans to add extension support so that developers can add more features over time themselves. Already, it has a built-in notetaking mode for devices with a touch screen and a reading mode for consuming longform stories and content. There’s even built-in password management.
