Why not just block http://www.atrixnet.com/bs-generator.html from the corporate firewall?

#4Fewest vulnerabilities: I suspect that Chrome and Firefox being open source is a factor here. Thus it seems possible to me that they actually have fewer vulnerabilities than Edge—Edge’s just haven’t been found yet.
This is pure speculation on my part; I have no evidence nor any investigation, deep or otherwise.

#5"We’re determined to make Microsoft Edge the safest and most secure browser."
Then open source the whole thing, not just little parts of it. It has the lowest number of vulnerabilities in the National Vulnerability Database because it has the least number of eyes able to look for them.

Yes, because it has helped OpenSSL a lot.

#7It's using Hyper-V, so does that mean this only applies to Pro and Enterprise edition of Windows 10?

#8Am I reading correctly: WDAGfME (for lack of a better acronum) is essentially starting a VM with a fresh copy of Windows for every site that it is protecting? Does this happen for every open & protected tab/window? What kind of overhead does it have?
The idea sounds similar to Qubes OS, with the exception that it's transparent to the user and doesn't have to be configured by the end-user.
I presume this kills any of the offline-storage approaches?

Yeah, this is interesting tech, but sadly my first thought was that this name is so bad that it's indistinguishable from parody.

The point isn't that every open source app is awesome, it is that now you KNOW.
You're directing snark towards OpenSSL presumably because you think it's a poorly coded. If it was closed source you might not even be aware of the issues and there certainly wouldn't be the open source efforts to code alternatives.
