as if it's some cruel joke, microsoft has made the early editions of chromium edge available for download on the same day as the death of Windows XP. it still pretty much looks like a shitty chrome skin at the moment but i'll definitely be replacing my testing client for chromium based browsers with this regardless since it also runs on Windows 7 and 8.1 so that's pretty cool at least. From what I recall an early promise regarding Edge was that it'd be cross platform so at least they SOMEWHAT delivered on that promise now.
they seemingly have adopted chrome's release naming and scheduling except the download links for these are easy to find. if you want to check it out then visit
this link, ignore the fact that it links to the Windows 10 download it's just that they only "officially support" that so far and won't let you log into sync with 7 or 8.
