Initial product development kickoff meeting:
"hey,.what should we call our product that's a vm for guarding apps fomr exploits? "
"Application Guard?"
"Sure, that's pretty basic and easy to understand. I like it"

Product beta phase:
"What should we release as the first supported application?"
"edge?"
"oh, duh. yeah. "

Later via email from higher ups to the pm:
"Hey, whats the status on Application Guard"
"its good. we're going to release Application Guard for Edge first and then we'll add more app support later"
"sounds good, i'll kick it over to marketing"

Marketing:
"hmmm, Application Guard for Edge? Who came up with that?"
"The tech guys did. "
"well, ok but I think we need to make sure people know this is part of Windows"
"ok so Windows Application Guard for Edge"
"Isnt this kind of a security application, like defender?"
:"well no, its more of a windows subsystem."
"but the user needs to know about it right?"
"not really but.."
"i think we should put it under windows defender"
"Windows Defender Application Guard for Edge?"
"Yes! perfect! All the brands and product lines clearly listed"
"you don't think its too wordy?"
"No its great!"

The invisible app icon space on my taskbar from where I removed the Edge icon after the Windows Anniversary update:



At least I can still drag it around so I don't have to remember a bunch of new shortcuts.

man, so the application guard thing literally virtualizes another copy of windows (albeit some minimal one) to run the boxed edge. that is a p. low-level move to pull to be able to safely surf porn on your domain-connected computer

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Haven't Microsoft paid bromium a bunch of money to virtualise everything?

no idea about that, the diagram the edge team shows has some windows derivative running on hyperv running the untrusted edge
