The only missing part in Edge is the tabs and history management. I decided to opt out from Google as much as I can. Especially because of support Chrome extensions - and here I need WASM development plugin. With Edge I switched a few months ago for testing. And this is how I was rolling last 4 years.īut what I really needed was Windows system with WSL and good integration of GUI apps (Still on W10 tho) where I can use my beloved tools for programming, and still have access to games, apps like Office (here only Excel that I care about) and some other Windows/macOS only. Interesting, I've always thought that I will work on Linux, because I love Linux tools, but I will miss some Windows specific tools. Bing is FAR better than anyone gives it credit for and it gets better all the time.

Windows Phone struggled for a while, but it too fell victim to the attitude of the commoner: 'I've never once used or even laid eyes on this product, but Microsoft made it so I'm going to poke fun at it endlessly.'Įver hear a joke about Bing on a non-technical TV show? that's how far this shit reaches. Windows phone also, likely, which was another excellent product doomed before it hit the market because people like to tell and hear the same jokes over and over and over again. Microsoft derisiveness today is nothing more than bird calls to help nerds find each other in the wild, but then non-nerds hear it and assume that the most common squawks they hear from the flock are true. many of those same people today still bash on Microsoft for lesser offenses than they themselves are part of, so don't act like there is logic behind any of the derision that gets thrown around.

Many readers of this comment likely WORK AT one of these places, and are complicit in the crap these companies do, yet they excuse the things they do in any one of a million ways, just like employees at Microsoft did at the time. Google Amazon and Facebook are doing FAR WORSE things today, and no one says anything.

did they earn as much BS as they've gotten over the past two decades? no.
