The new Microsoft Edge is out of preview

Extra sad because Microsoft briefly had their own PDF program (Reader) in Windows 8, but removed it in favor of making Edge the default program for opening PDFs.

Yeah, it was briefly on Windows 10 as well, it was my favourite PDF reader and now it's gone. Good job Microsoft.

Imagine if everything that was shelved due to marketing policies were compiled into a disc.

Microsoft <3 Open Source. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Are you sure it's gone?

I just checked the Microsoft App Store and Reader is available.

Funny because with Windows Ink, I loved Edge's PDF abilities.

Made my life so much easier.

Huh, I'm happy to see it's still available. I sold my Surface years ago and tend to not look at PDFs on Windows anymore, all I'd noticed was that I didn't have Reader installed anymore.
