episode 598: Giant Hairball of Code
Edge vs Chromium
- Is Microsoft about to switch rendering engines in its Windows 10 browser?
- Is this a good thing or bad thing for 1. the industry; 2. developers; 3. users (Yes, yes, and yes; let's debunk some myths.)
- Will it still be called Edge?
- Will it look/work like Edge does today? What about extensions, etc.?
Windows Lite
- Windows RT failed. Windows 10 S Mode failed. Can Windows "Lite" succeed?
