Glad to see this confidence in Servo, but ....
Servo isn't ready to be used as a proper browser, even if it did work on Windows (I've been casually trying to port some of it for the past few days, though I'm not familiar enough with MSVC to really do this properly and mingw doesn't work for some of our deps).
It's still missing a lot of DOM features and CSS. Most of these aren't hard to implement, just that there are a lot of them and we haven't gotten around to it.
Its chrome (chrome = stuff that is not the engine), servo-shell (https://github.com/glennw/servo-shell) is pretty rudimentary too. Servo is a browser _engine_ , so stuff like bookmarks are out of its purview. Projects like browser.html and servo-shell can provide these, though. Otherwise I believe it works with the Chromium chrome via CEF.
I contribute a lot to Servo and still don't use it for regular browsing. I do use release builds for googling things whilst studying (generally I just need to load simple html pages and wikipedia, which work awesomely), but not much more. As more and more features get implemented, this should change though :)
He told me that Edge is built on the Universal Windows Apps Platform which is going to be launched with Win 10. So because of its dependency, it won't be possible for edge to run on Win 7. The good thing about this is that MS is using the same platform that they will give to developers, to build Edge.
So people shouldn't hope that at some point Edge will come to Linux or Max OSX.
Doesn't apply to enterprise licensees, but enterprises aren't known for upgrading to new browser versions even when they're available, so no huge loss there.
"Universal App Platform" Oh, the irony.
Thanks for letting us know why Edge won't be on Win 7.
