I agree with your comment in general, but Edge really is significantly better than IE. It supports most modern web stuff, it's much faster and the UI is pretty nice and clean. Sure, the latter is a matter of taste too but it really beats IE on all fronts.
Opinions clearly vary on whether it can compete with the likes of Chrome and Firefox, but it's not a "low feature Internet Explorer". It's a decent piece of work.
Good work, but I'm still not going to use it, given I've already had A-grade browsers for many years.
The only suggestion for fonts is maybe using the ClearType font tuner tool in Control Panel.
FWIW I prefer Chrome but dig what MS is doing with Edge.
Though I admit it seems weird for a browser that's apparently designed for mobile.
My big beef with it is that it tries to force feed me Bing wherever it can (even after switching the default search engine). That's a big no-no.
But I did notice google is trying to force feed me Chrome when I visit google’s web sites. I click “No I don’t want Chrome” in these popups, the popup disappears for a few days and then pops up again.
It didn't:

After the whole "Windows 10" thing i seriously doubt there is anything they can do that would result in them losing much of a market share.
This is not a mobile version of an OS where the browser doesn’t really matter because there aren’t many things you can do with only fingers anyway. This is a full blown desktop OS to be used by laptops.
[edit] actually how would the Chrome installer work in the first place? I thought the very definition of Windows 10 S was that it only allows apps from the store. How would that download app install anything?
