ICYMI – Recapping Microsoft Edge at Build 2020 It’s been one month since the first all-digital Microsoft Build and while we may not have seen each other in person, we sure felt the energy online. Whether on social media, in the comments section during livestreams, or over webcams for focus groups, we loved hearing from developers around the world (Australia! Japan! India!

Adding GPU compute support to WSL has been our #1 most requested feature since the first release. Over the last few years, the WSL, Virtualization, DirectX, Windows Driver, Windows AI teams, and our silicon partners have been working hard to deliver this capability.
