Microsoft's Build 2020 developer conference starts today, and as always, there's a bunch of news around its brand-new Chromium-based Edge browser. There are a bunch of new features on the way, but perhaps more significant is that the company finally confirmed that it's going to begin rolling out Edge within the next few weeks.
 
You might recall that the team actually announced general availability back in January, promising a slow rollout. Slow isn't actually the right word though, because it never actually rolled out. Users have had the opportunity to download a stable version of the browser, and then in February, it started rolling out to beta testers on the Windows Insider Program's Release Preview ring. In other words, other than beta testers, exactly zero people have received this as an update.

While the blog post doesn't explicitly say this, it seems likely that it's going to arrive as part of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, which is already available for developers and coming later this month. While the browser is going to be pushed to your machine via Windows Update, updates to the browser will not.
