  <p> What does MS have to gain in "bowing down" to Google? Can they make $ helping their customers feel "better" about their choices concerning Google? I don't see the currency in that. If people need support for their choices, I'm not sure MS is responsible for such a thing. That should be Googles responsibility.</p>

  <blockquote><em><a href="#378968">In reply to ChiWax:</a></em></blockquote><p>The developers being able to update Edge faster through the Store rather than having to wait for Patch Tuesday is a huge win. Google's Project Zero security researchers have been a thorn in Microsoft's side for a few years now revealing Edge security flaws to the public: <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/21/17036084/google-microsoft-windows-10-security-flaw-disclosure&quot; target="_blank">https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/21/17036084/google-microsoft-windows-10-security-flaw-disclosure</a></p><p><br></p><p>Now it becomes Google's codebase that gets scrutinized with Microsoft mostly getting to focus on their Edge UI instead. Win-Win. The icing on the cake would be Google releasing Chrome on the Microsoft Store.</p>
