If someone is on a windows machine, using the pre-installed IE11 or Edge browser, I tend to assume it's a 70 year old these days. Or possibly someone at a firm with some dated internal ActiveX page that needs IE.

That kind of association is extremely difficult to break. Car manufacturers have struggled with similar impressions. You can make the greatest, and cheapest, car in the world, and people won't buy it if it has that kind of negative association.

Talking of cars, Porsche sell stripped out, weekend racer versions for more than the more luxurious ones. But it is a niche market. Same with computers for nerds - we know what we are doing, but for the average consumer - which is certainly MS's target market - the more bells and whistles the more impressive it is in the showroom.

I see what you’re trying to get at. But your example is not correct.

What Porsche model is a stripped down version of another? Porsche Turbo S —> GT3/2 RS? Cayman GTS —> GT4?

Because in those 2 examples, there’s no stripping down.

Edge is superior to anything I’ve tried on a tablet.

I don’t use my Win10 tablet anymore, but it is what it is.
