Google account integration seems pretty non-strategic for Microsoft - do we have any idea if this is intentional? (I would have assumed they'd implement all the cloud stuff backed by Live accounts.)
If they integrate Google Accounts and Microsoft services, it provides a way to exfiltrate personal data held in Google Accounts to Microsoft; least nefariously, as a way to make MS accounts more useful by, perhaps automatically, importing contacts, etc., but that's not all that is possible.)
This new Edge seems to reuse the cookie jar, history, etc. of the real Edge, so emp_ is probably already logged in to his Google account on the real Edge. (Corrections welcome, but it's what I've noticed after trying it.)
