My main hope is that the crew behind the new Edge browser isn't immediately absorbed into Azure, but left with Windows to continue to shape it up like it should have been in 2015. I'm not even immediately rejecting the idea of Windows on ARM anymore, because there's tangible and real world benefits with it and not just a lock down experiment with no apps. Yet the Edge logo, added to a preview version of Windows 10 on Monday, looks unmistakably like the beleaguered browser it is supposed to replace. Microsoft is clearly breaking from tradition here with its move to a Chromium version of Edge, and it will be interesting to hear why the company picked this particular design. Microsoft is in rare form, their power meter is over 9000 these days and I'm crazy excited for the future. The logo also spells out the letter e, but it no longer looks similar to Internet Explorer, and looks a lot more modern as a result. And that's just the visual direction because as far as the application itself goes they knocked it out of the park there, taking a much superior open source browser and ripped out all the Google cruft that browser is usually associated with.
A return to consistency, in any measurable form or just the start of a trend, is more than enough to get me back on the Windows hype train. They made it consistent with the last 6 months worth of new art assets across Microsoft product lines, which is better than Microsoft has ever been able to fathom since the Windows 7 days.
