Edge is out
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

The articles I read appear to indicate that the Edge name is going away as well as the innards.
Of course, Microsoft is the only software provider where the browser has been touted as (squeaky Steve Ballmer voice) "an Integral part of the (Windows) Operating System". So who knows?

Well, if Edge is out, that must be the end of them.

It's a significant reason why I switched to Linux and Java. Less breakage, better support, backwards compatibility.
I only do Windows for 2 reasons these days: 1: Taxes (since Intuit has TurboTax welded more tightly into Windows than even Microsoft welds products into Windows). 2: Someone is paying me to work with Windows.
Well, a third reason. I do like to fire up the MS Flight Simulator occasionally. There's supposed to be a good Linux alternative for this one, however. It's just I've never bothered to check it out.
BTW, there was a name or at least code name mentioned in regards to the new Windows browser. I forget what it was, though. Something vaguely menacing, I think.
According to the latest round of tech rumors, Microsoft has given up on Edge and reportedly building a new Chromium-based web browser, dubbed project codename "Anaheim" internally, that will replace Edge on Windows 10 operating system as its new default browser, a journalist at WindowsCentral learned.

I guess if you'd have an alternative for [1] you could easily live just with [2]

Do I read that correctly, so that nobody (or at least less) would complain about the Edge, they say its main purpose is philanthropy and not so much something else, so "why you complain people about it?" ?

Actually i prefer BSD's (nothing against Linuxes but for "philosophical" reasons).

Flight Simulator actually models aircraft and flying conditions so well that hours on it can be credited as actual simulator flight time towards a regular pilot's license. Now if I could just learn to manage landing ON the runway....
I was so into it for a while that I bought the independent scenery and airplane development kits. I tried to model my hometown, with varying degrees of success, since I didn't have accurate dimensional information for the primary landmarks. It's funny, but a building is really just a square airplane with a fancy paint job that doesn't move. Then again, the ships that sail FS waters are actually airplanes, too!

I couldn't say. Different people like different things. I live in a technological wasteland where salaries are low. But the climate is warm (well, not today, it's currently about 15°C outside), and the low salaries are somewhat mitigated by low taxes.
Offset that by a lo-nn-ggg summer, when the forecast is almost invariable 35°, high humidity and 30% chance of thunderstorms. Lows about 28. Repeat from mid June to mid October. Used to be September, but that mythical Global Warming, don't you know (incidentally, it broke a record in Central Florida back around December 1. 90°F). Oh yes, and the occasional hurricane. The beaches are nice, though. Except during hurricanes.
For optimal year-round climate, Hawaii rules, but since it's a set of islands in the middle of the Pacific, everything has to be shipped in from far away and cost of living is high. Plus volcanoes and hurricanes.
Minnesota is popular with emigrants from Scandinavia, and a lot of tech jobs were being advertised there recently. But you'd better like lots of snow. And ice fishing.
Obviously many people like New York. It has culture, lots of business. And pizza.
Boston has MIT, Harvard, et. al. I liked their subway system. And I love visiting Chicago, which also tends to have a lot of tech jobs.
Then there's the West Coast, from Los Angeles up through San Francisco (which isn't afraid to outsource - I've never been west of Arizona, but some of my best customers are there), and of course, Washington State, home of Microsoft. Seattle is noted for being quite temperate considering its latitude, although it helps if you like drizzling rain.
And legal marijuana is available in many places if you're into that sort of thing (I'm not, but I don't like beer, either).
Some people like the Research Triangle in North Carolina, home of Red Hat, as well as facilities for IBM, Apple and the like. You can pick mountains or seashore for vacation and the climate is a good compromise between the warmth of the South and the coolness of the North. In fact, they have a word for retirees who moved from up North to Florida, hated the heat and traffic and moved to Carolina: half-backs. As in moved halfway back North and made themselves doubly annoying. In Florida, we get annoyed when people say "We didn't do it that way back up North", but the half-backs complain from both directions. Now if they could just fix their election systems. They're making Fort Lauderdale look good by comparison.
... Parking's a though. Unless you've got diplomatic or government plates.
Anyway, people congregate all over the place, many in big cities, some preferring more rural locations, and not a few around the deserts. As I said, it's a matter of taste. You can get as good an idea from one of those "best places to live" slideshows on the Internet as from anything I could suggest.

Yep, sounds like Florida, the State that Air Conditioning Made Possible.Harry Kar wrote:Actually climate is cold (4°C outside) we're in winter and humidity is relatively high(i hate high humidity I wasn't able to live in a city e.g. Palermo Sicily without air-conditionig; there you have 70-90% and 35-40°C in summer impossible to cope with without some aids like an air conditioner; likewise in the winter temperature is not too low but humidity "lower it" too much . I remember when was younger a place near Vienna Austria dunno what humidity was(very very low) back then but impress me the fact that i needed only 3 hours of sleeping to equate the normal 7-8hours; i loved that)
It's warmer on this side. The Gulf of Mexico is one big shallow solar-heated bathtub. Warm water leaves it and wraps around Southern Florida, passing up the state in the Gulf Stream, and eventually makes Europe a lot warmer that its latitude would otherwise warrant. Most Atlantic hurricanes come from either the Sahara or from the Southern Caribbean, move West, then North, then East and eventually become sub-tropical, often dumping on England and Ireland. But I think one storm did try to barrel up the Mediterranean last Summer.Harry Kar wrote:Hopefully here in EU we haven't all that bad(and dangerous) natural phenomena thunderstorms, hurricanes and the likel and yes beaches are here too nice places ever and above all you can find beaches with warm waters too (i remember Atlantic was too cold for my taste) ;)
