Thanks Steve and Bill!   However some of us are discovering that Edge can display them kind of correctly now.  Unfortunately, Edge is as stupid as IE.   If you developed fantastic looking grid layout pages for Chrome and do not want to revert back to old fashioned table layouts, I have the ultimate solution for you. It's called vendor extensions. First thing to do is to drop some of your CSS into the autoprefixer to allow it to add new MS vendor extensions. Then you add your new CSS into your sheets.

Windows Internal Database Fails to Start or Fails to Install from Server Manager Greetings, y'all.  Recently, I started building a WSUS server on Windows Server 2012 R2. While trying to install Windows Internal Database from the Server Manager , it fails to install, yet leaves the services.msc control panel with a non-starting service called " Windows Internal Database ." It refuses to start, that's why the installer refuses to finish.  I was using "Add Roles and Features" to add this service.  Curiously enough, after a reboot, the service will be removed.
