Is there any official word on Pega 6.3x support for Microsoft Edge ?
I have a customer using the Pega 6.3 platform and they are moving to Windows 10. They are interested in knowing if the platform will eventually support Microsoft Edge and when will that will occur.....or will they need to move to Pega 7 to use Microsoft Edge. They understand that they can use IE 11 Enterprise mode as a coping mechanism for now.
Accepted Solution
Hi George,
Microsoft Edge may or may not work well with the legacy PRPC 6.x platform. That remains to be seen as I have never seen a customer even attempt it yet.
Given the issues even IE11 faces with our legacy platform, and the user agent string changes for Microsoft Edge, I am willing to bet the results will not be positive.
Personally, I would not even entertain it as a practical consideration.
Official support of Microsoft Edge will have to come in a future release where Pega can fully test against it. These testing efforts will not be extended to older releases.
