YIPEE one more way to browse the internet!  At Flybook HQ (AKA- IT department for tour and activity providers worldwide)  we spend a good portion of our time making sure that our reservation system and other products always stay ahead of the tech curve.    On July 29th, 2015 Microsoft is set to release Windows 10.   With that release the new "Edge" browser will become reality.   Currently less than 8% of people who browse the internet use Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) (2015 Browser Statisitics).  It will be interesting to see if users will be pulled away from their Google/Chrome comfort zone?

 

What does this mean for your website?

Most websites "should" render appropriately as Microsoft claims to have "designed for interoperability with the modern web.” Convinced?

If you are trusting person... roll the dice and assume your site will be fine.  If you are skeptic like me? Use the link below to run a quick test:

Here is some "Googling" for you.  Below are 3 links that should bring you up to speed with all things "Edge." Or, at the very least add to the confusion ;)

• Edge Browser: Everything You Need To Know 
• Microsoft Edge Browser: Release Date, Specs, Features And More About Windows 10's Internet Explorer Replacement
• Microsoft Puts Finishing Touches on Windows 10
