I'd love to see them harness the new-found underdog energy they have and develop a proper Mac/Linux port of IE that they can maintain alongside the desktop version.

I honestly do my best to test across all the modern browsers when I develop, but having to spin up a random VM running whatever version of windows they require for whatever the edge version of IE is starts to get old after a while.

If the Chrome and Firefox teams can maintain multiple architectures and release them in lock-step, it's certainly possible for Microsoft to start on the road to this process, even if it takes them a couple of years.

And would open-sourcing the browser really kill them?
