ORTC is a W3C standard feature (http://ortc.org/) currently requesting for implementations.
For this specific demo we wanted to demo ORTC to ORTC communication so you need 2 browsers that support it. At this moment only Microsoft Edge on the latest insider flight does.
There are several initiatives to make the bridge between ORTC and WebRTC: simplewebrtc.com/audio.html is one that does that for audio.
There are quite a few things going on in the backend, GitHub info, feeds, uservoice... Is not just a static html file :)
[Disclaimer: I'm the PM and lead dev of this project] This is a node website running on an Azure Websites. Nothing weird on the backend :)
[Disclaimer: I'm the PM and lead dev of this project] Basically the rationale is that it is a beta website and we didn't had the time to do all the optimizations we want. More updates and sections should be coming in the next few weeks.
Give it a try again. We've done some changes on the server side so you should see IE and log into IE much faster. Just make sure to use the same email as the one you received the notification.
If that is important to you we have also made available all versions of IE in Virtual Machines at https://www.modern.ie
There is no GPU acceleration. When running IE through RDP we default to software rendering and unfortunately there isn't anything we can do about that :(
The rar files we have at modern.ie are selfextracting. Just follow the instructions and you shouldn't need to install any other tool :)
Cookies will be enabled soon :)
Hi acdha, 1. You can go to http://feedback.azure.com/forums/247748-azure-remoteapp and share your feedback with the Remote App team. They really want to make it as useful as possible and it is still on Preview so now is the moment to influence the team 3. Yes, we are working on it and should be fixed soon. Regarding the older versions of IE, unfortunately we are running on top of Server 2012 so we are locked to IE11+. At this moment you can use the dev tools and change the compat mode and we are thinking about adding Enterprise Mode to the service so you can test on "IE8".
You can use CORS to access the data at http://status.modern.ie/features :)
