    where is the start version of internet explorer 11! In windows 10

    In windows 8.1, there is two versions of internet explorer: the desktop version and the start version. I loved the start version which is more touch-friendly. I heard that Microsoft designed for all touch screen devices. My laptop is windows 10 (which
    would not have the start version of internet explorer) but is touch-screen. Although I do not see the start internet explorer. I only see the more traditional internet explorer. Please! Can anyone at Microsoft add the start internet explorer to windows 10?!

    Edge - favorites need to be single spaced

    Microsoft Edge:

    In the Favorites Bar, all of the URLs are double spaced; presumably to make it touch friendly. However, this is very wasteful of space for desktop machines using a mouse to navigate. Is there a way to make the favorites to be single spaced?

    Single spacing is an absolute necessity if I am to use Edge as my primary browser.

    This could be what makes my final decision on Win 10

    For me I want the same interface with touch as I do with keyboard/mouse not a different one and when using Metro/Modern apps I want no sign of desktop elements showing

    For those who use touch on their main computers this sounds like a good thing it also sounds as if though Microsoft is looking more to the future with touch.
