    Impressive, when I was five I could barely read or write. We need to support these kids who are interested in computers or tech, because schools still don't teach younger children programming or computer sciences

    Today Microsoft launched RemoteIE, it's a cloud based solution to get Internet Explorer on other Operating Systems than Windows. For webdevelopers who develop on Linux and OSX and want to make their website compatible with Internet Explorer this is great news. Instead of making a dedicated virtual machine, you just login and download the app and it connects to the Azure cloud platform.
     
    There are some drawbacks:
    You'll be logged out after 10 minutes of inactivity. A session can only last up to 60 minutes, after that you need to log out and log back in. It will only work with publicly available website, so your localhost development environment is off limits. The perfomance isn't the same, there is no gpu acceleration. I think it's a good move from Microsoft to release a way to view their browser on a different operating system. Since I mostly develop websites on Linux, I found it irritating that I needed another computer/virtual machine just to check if a website was compatible with the different Internet Explorer versions.

    +1 for Ubuntu, used it as my daily driver at my university. But for playing games I still use Windows.
