The new Microsoft browser will be called ‘Microsoft Edge’.

Edge uses the icon of an “e”, similar to the Internet Explorer has had since 1996. Chief operating systems business, Joe Belfiore, he said that this symbol will now have a better meaning and completely different.
Unlike Explorer, Edge will have modern features such as extensions. Microsoft showed some for the first time at the conference on Wednesday, but definitely lags behind if compared with Chrome or Firefox.
Belfiore said it will be very easy to build applications and extensions to the browser, including Chrome apps could run on Edge with very few changes.
Windows to everyone running around. Microsoft made other announcements about their products Wednesday, including its high ambitions for its new operating system.
Microsoft is fully committed to bringing Windows into the hands of everyone. It announced that Windows 10 will be a free update for anyone with version 7 and 8. For 2018, the company expects to have 1,000 million people using its new system.
This would make it the most widely used operating system in existence any Versioned. Right now, 500 million people are using Android KitKat, the most widely used OS in the world.
To attract more people, Microsoft opened the door for developers to include their applications in the operating system. Soon they could be used apps by Apple and Google on a Windows Phone or PC.
Windows 10 will run an Android subsystem that will enable developers to bring these tools apps to Windows with just a few modifications. Similarly, Windows will iOS apps in its store, with very few changes. Here’s how it brought Candy Crush app to Windows, Microsoft said.
The Windows Store apps will also have “Win32″ and leave companies like Adobe upload their tools there, instead of asking the users have to search a myriad of places to download. Thus, Adobe Photoshop can put in store for when Windows 10 makes its debut.
“Windows 10 represents a new generation of development focused on personal computing, where the experience of mobility is most important, not the gadgets to move,” said Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, in the event.
