Another woe for MS. A bug found in its browsers, IE11 and Edge, gives hackers access to your browser and you're along for the ride.

speaking of windows... on the bright side.... in future, you can forbid installation of win32 stuff on win10! on the other hand, you'll just get infected by uwp stuff

MS is trying to force people to use their Edge browser.  I clicked a link on a website and it said it was only viewable in Edge.  Sure enough it won't open in Chrome or even IE.  I guess there are not many users out there.
