Google pissing its pants with new Edge(mium)

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/google-takes-aim-at-microsoft-edge-with-flurry-of-ads/ Finally we are giving Google run for its money. New Edge browser, Visual Studio Code, Windows subsystem on Linux (1&2),.Net core and its future roadmap, dual screen Android devices and possibly fork of android, github and all its goodness and ofcourse Azure. Grass has never been greener on the east side :) TC 220k

Your url is dead.

Thanks. I'll be happy to see a tough competition to Google. It's also good for the users to have more options and (hopefully) better features. How difficult do you think it'd be for MS to attract a sizeable 3P developer base for making extensions and apps on their marketplace?

Keep drinking that kool-aid.

Microsoft JceW86 OP Feb 29, 2020

Well this kool-aid tastes better than the Google's.

I've seen this movie at Microsoft before. I was at Microsoft when Live, Zune etc were launched with much fanfare. Remember those products now?

Amazon guiced-up Feb 29, 2020

lol is this the result of internal propaganda? Like how IBM employees think IBM Cloud is a serious competitor to AWS 😂

Microsoft JceW86 OP Feb 29, 2020

Like aws n Jeff Bezos whining about how they lost $10 B Jedi contract to Azure. Sure

Microsoft presci Feb 29, 2020

Ask your employees if they all use Edge. I don’t. It’s funny how few Microsoft internal sites are unsupported on edge.

Microsoft JceW86 OP Feb 29, 2020

Well things are changing very fast with overwhelming positive launch of new Edge browser

Microsoft presci Feb 29, 2020

Wait for our developers to make it crappy. It is good because Google has helped with it initially.

@microsoft LOL. The two screen phone isn't changing anything that idea's been done years ago. You're just now catching up and on Android to boot ha.

OP has drank so much koolaid they’ve forgotten what reality is like

Microsoft should just fork Chrome and remove all the google integrations, replace with MS stuff, put in an ad blocker to block Google and Facebook crap and just ship it. Users won’t notice a thing and it will hurt the competition where it hurts.

Amazon bejeezos Feb 29, 2020

As an average end-user, I honestly don't know what makes Chrome better. Can't think of anything else other than extensions and cards/passwords/bookmarks backup in Google accounts.

LOL. The grass is green on the Microsoft campus cause it doesn't stop raining there. But it has nothing to do with Microsoft nor its products. Everyone I know (including myself) has left for greener pastures. Microsoft severely underpays its engineers to the point where even startups are now more competitive. The only upside at Microsoft is the fact that on some teams, you can live a very comfortable life in terms of WLB. Add to it the fact that Microsoft hires today most of its engineers from tier 5 companies cause it can't hire from other places, and you get a recipe for a very poor company.

Calm down here. You have nothing to be proud of unless you contributed to these projects yourself.

Google KobeG Mar 1, 2020

Collectivism makes you proud of others achievements just because you’re part of that “group”.

I never knew Microsoft had such strong Koolaid. You surpassed Airbnb today 👏
