As far as I was aware for consumers you'll only have Edge installed in Windows 10 by default.
I thought the EU ruled that Microsoft cant have any browser installed by default now and has to offer users a browser choice screen instead (which happens to be a web page loaded in IE... :rolleyes:)

Microsoft encourages customers who want more information about web browsers or want to download another browser to do so by visiting the websites of web browser vendors directly.

Interesting. Didn't know that - last Windows 7 install I did recently still had the chooser screen, but it was a few months ago.

2013 gives me eye strain so I forcefully uninstalled it at work. If I can't run 2010 at least on 10 I'll not be getting it.

Or more likely I'll figure out a way. Some versions of 2010 are deployed as virtual apps anyway.

How does this xBox One/Windows 10 app work? I assume I have to have the xBox on to be able to play it on my laptop? If not, then that is excellent news I can just play xBox One when relatives come to stay and ignore them.

Which theme were you using? The Dark Grey theme in 2013 is a lot better than the default white one, and is fairly similar to 'Silver' in 2010.

I tried the dark grey, but it was still too bright and more importantly bare.

Also Outlook stopped displaying information that I needed.

I'm a luddite when it comes to new versions of Microsoft products. Or most software in fact.

It works the other way round. You stream from your device to your Xbox. I was using the feature last night with my Android tablet.

So by making the logo look similar to IE it's immediately obviously that it's the browser - even if you only then use it to download Chrome / Firefox etc.

But it will be an issue where you're in a corporate environment and the deployment includes both.
That's the only time i use IE :)

No it is the other way around Cimt, you stream from the Xbox to a compatible device.

Windows 10 extends the Xbox experience with game streaming. Play your Xbox One games on a desktop, laptop, or tablet in your home on your local Wi-Fi.*

There is a new streaming app for xbox one that let's you stream stuff from an Android or windows device to the console.

There is also streaming games from xbox to windows 10 but not sure when that launches.
