Out of the people you know who Use Microsoft Edge, how many think it's Internet Explorer?

[+Warwagon MVC]

In my day to day Interaction with the average user, I have noticed that most of them think the big solid blue E in Windows 10 is Internet Explorer. Who can blame them? Microsoft in all of their Wisdom created a brand new browser gave it a name starting with E and gave it a big blue E as an icon.  Makes you wonder what they were thinking. Were they purposely trying to trick the user into using Edge, thinking it was internet Explorer?

 

I told a customer the other day that this E (Internet explorer) and this solid blue E (Edge) are not related in the slightest. She looked at me with the shocked and confused look and said .. "Really?"

As a full stack developer (mostly mobile app these days though), we get  calls and concerns regarding browser compatibility. Surprisingly, regardless of their technical level, people have known the difference between Edge and IE.
