[Geomoose-users] compatibility issues with Microsoft Edge

Mark,
   I've done some simple tests with edge and GeoMoose v2.8 and it works 
well.  Microsoft's doc on Windows 10's Edge says they've dropped 
backwards compatibility of their previous browsers to improve 
performance, so I doubt there will be a setting.  I did an upgrade from 
Windows 7 but I believe they are still delivering Internet Explorer as 
well as Edge with Windows 10 so potentially the work around is "Use 
Internet Explorer" (at least until the customer moves to GM 2.8).

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
