One Brief Reason Not to Go for the Newest and Shiniest Technology

One little problem with new technology: Not everyone catches up at the same time.



With the new Windows 10 download, you get Microsoft Edge, their new browser. It looks good, loads well, and has all kinds of funky features, but it's current fatal flaw is that many websites haven't caught up with it yet. While I was using it, I got a notice on a website that said, "We haven't optimized for this browser. Please try.." I also started getting gateway errors, which I have never seen before. It's not a big deal, but it is a reminder that the new and shiny often is a little too new and not yet ready for everything you need.

It's a very cool browser with some cool features, but it will be a little while before everyone else catches up.
