However you have to pass the first challenge, which is to live in America.
Microsoft has created a new browser, called Edge, it appears on your desktop when installing Win 10.The company said this new browser is faster, more efficient battery use and comprehensive than Chrome or Firefox. Even you can draw on the website with a touch pen.
The problem with Microsoft is that not many people are using it. So now Microsoft is trying to "bribe" users to switch to their browser.
Browse Microsoft's Edge.
Microsoft programs with new Rewards-name change from Bing Rewards-the company will pay for you to use the browser Edge, shopping at Microsoft Store, or use the search engine Bing. Previously, Bing Rewards also has paid for people using Bing as the default search engine (a product of Microsoft, is claimed to be better than Google's search engine, but also not many people use).
Users of Edge, when registering a Microsoft Program Rewards, will be awarded the points for the use of this browser (However, this program is only available to users in the United States). Microsoft will monitor whether you use the browser Edge is 30 hours a month or not.
If you think to open the browser on your computer continuously for 30 hours and can sleep well then you should think again. Microsoft will also monitor the mouse move and other signs to ensure that you are not fooled by this bonus system, and you also have to set Bing as the default search engine.
This bonus could then provide in Exchange for the discount card or credit points for the places such as Starbucks, Amazon, Skype and Outlook.com version no ads-remember, if you don't pay for something, you is a product to offer for sale.
Whether paying for users are really effective or not, or whether people really want to keep track of how they use the computer how (or at least people know that, they were being watched and then) or not, it probably still needs to be reviewed.
In fact, the Edge is also a pretty good browser, especially when you're using a laptop running Windows 10 battery. But if the company intends to use this way to attract users, then perhaps they will have to spend a huge amount of money and a lot of effort to a certain amount of 58% of current Internet users switched from Chrome to the Edge. Microsoft's new plan does not seem to be ready for that.
