Microsoft has no immediate plans to let its new browser out of Windows 10. Walled gardens are pretty when they're in bloom
Not entirely surprising, but a Windows 7 version would be nice

Now, who would be enticed to upgrade to Windows 10 if they gave out a Weven version?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

They are worried that some government in the future will prevent them from doing something.
..and then they come with telephone-COMPANIES putting pressure on government as argumentation. Yes, I completely agree with the two, companies have way too much influence over government and the laws they make. They prove that point nearly every, single day.

During Build 2015, Microsoft released Flight Arcade, inspired by the original Microsoft Flight Simulator and designed to show off the new web experiences with Microsoft's newest browser Edge. Utilizing WebGL, WebAudio, and GamePad API, this new simulation experience works amazingly well on the Microsoft Edge browser. "How high can you fly? You'll never, never, never reach the sky"
Seems to work fine in Chrome as well

Apple designs and builds its MacBooks to get the best performance possible out of the OS X operating system. But according to one owner, Apple's new MacBook runs Microsoft's Windows 10 better than its native OS. Macs for everyone!

I have that setup myself, and I think I agree with the findings. Certainly "Spartan" wipes the floor with "Safari".

Makes sense. Apple's always had the better hardware. Windows is finally getting its house in order to reclaim its spot atop the software pile. Ideal setup.

Since the source didn't do so, I'd really be interested in an actual battery life comparison test. Historically, that's always been a weak point of running Windows on a Mac; and a ready source of flamewar fodder between the "Windows is worse because it sucks" and "Battery life is all about driver tuning, Apple would be insane to put the effort needed to tune it's Windows drivers to outperform its Mac ones and even more insane to release them publicly if they existed" camps.

My supposition is that the Windows 10 drivers for the Mac were not written by Apple, but rather by Microsoft. In fact, most drivers, unless it's specialized hardware or purpose, are in fact written by Microsoft. And they're often better than the ones originally written for the hardware by the manufacturer.

Class drivers for commodity components are generally from the OS maker. Chipset/etc drivers and firmware come from the hardware manufacturers and need to be tweaked or outright customized by the OEMs to work with everything else in the system. Power management is a major factor here; the other really visible one is why not all touchpads from a given manufacturer work equally well in different companies hardware. A few years back, Synaptics tried to claw back all the driver/firmware writing from OEMs who were consistently botching the job; but since performance of their touchpads is still all over the place it's clear they've failed. (Probably because the OEMs weren't willing to pay even a cent/thousand parts for a pre-written driver when they already had an existing kludge they could re(mis)use.)

Yes, and most of the components in a Mac are commodity components, many if not most from Intel. Thanks for making my point.

And it's the driver/firmware customization work that the OEMs do that are why when you look at two laptops that have the same CPU/etc and same size batteries one lasts 9 or 10 hours and the other faceplants at 5. Performance/power management are dials that the OEMs can twist back and forth; or, and especially in the case of worst buy specials, smash with a hammer and totally fubar what on paper should be a really nice performing system.

Really? Not one bit of facts based evidence, just some student saying it feels quicker... Google: zdnet microsoft bias
I just hope my comment doesn't get deleted.
*windows may well be quicker or better - I use both and it's tuff to call, both have strengths and weakness - it would just be nice for news sites to report on facts.

In Windows 10, the Chakra JavaScript engine powers Microsoft Edge and Windows applications written in HTML/CSS/JS. However with JavaScript’s increasing popularity in beyond-the-browser scenarios, developers have been requesting to host the Chakra engine outside the browser to enable JavaScript programmability in their native/managed applications across the client and the server. You got JavaScript in my Windows!

Given the incredibly rapid pace of change in this area, it’s essential you have a clear understanding of the capabilities of the technologies and experience level of your teams before making any implementation decisions. Bottom line: Doing research is absolutely not the same thing as going for full-scale adoption. Production is never a good arena for R&D.
Here are six important questions organizations should ask before moving beyond research: 7. What are the downfalls
