Microsoft Edge

What is the position of Onshape with Microsoft Edge?  I am using it now in Windows 10 (same as @burhop).  Onshape seems to function well for the most part.  I did notice some graphics artifacts with elements of sketches not showing correctly.  Should we submit issues when we see them in Edge??

oops.  Sorry I just saw the post on the view cube in Edge.  I will wait and use Firefox in the meantime.

@pete_yodis We are doing extensive testing on the new Edge browser in Windows 10.  In the initial release we found too many browser-specific bugs that we cannot yet add it to the supported list.  Hopefully Microsoft will iterate on it and we will continue to test it.  When it makes the cut, we will let everyone know.

Thanks @lougallo Always nice to have more competition in the browser wars.  Firefox has been good to me so far.

@pete_yodis  I was just playing around with the Edge Browser when I upgraded.  I was surprised it worked.

I"m still sticking to Chrome for the most part but I must say the Edge Browser is a HUGE improvement over Interent Explorer.  I like the Javascript debugging better than chrome.

Generally, Windows 10 has been a nice improvement (over Windows 8.1).  I expect I'll like it better than Windows 7 once they beat down some of the new release bugs.I got tickled when my Samsung started making me respond in Chinese after I upgraded it

Any updated on Edge Support? I just got a new Laptop with Windows 10 and haven't had the need to install Chrome would be nice to keep it that way.

It works really nice on a touch screen and Windows Ink

Keep windows on the desktop.

Edge, that's gross.

Microsoft Cloud? it's an oxymoron. 

This is my opinion,  I don't do Windows.

More seriously Adrian and before I suffer a million slung arrows in my back.

Microsoft has a long history of not complying with internet standards and wants to define how the cloud works. They are way behind and trying to catch up.

They have actionscript which is a knockoff of javascript and the reason why javascript is controlled by a european entity called ecma. They've done some good as "innerhtml" was defined by them and everyone uses it instead of inserting into the DOM. Programming interfaces to include microsoft requires way too many conditional statements:

if (microsoft) do it this way; else like everyone else; 


Recently they seem to be supporting the cloud and offer up solutions to using angularJS, mongo, bootstrap and are trying to convince web developers to believe they are in the game too. They realize the ship has left the dock and they're trying to catch up.

Microsoft sql has a desktop version & a web version and they're not compatible. They say it works both on the desktop & cloud but don't tell you that you have to re-code & re-compile to switch from desktop to cloud.

Also, what I find frustrating is their insistence that sharing files on the cloud is "cloud" computing. Give me a true cloud version office 360 or stay on the desktop.

I should get back to work,
