Thank you Gary, I understand your position better.

Luckily, Microsoft (MS) have not updated their MS Edge Usage Guidelines (https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft....binary/RE1q9FT) to reflect the new logo. The creation of a vector version does not fall outside of allowed use.
It all hinges on the concept of "copy" but more on the intention of the copy. MS do suggest seeking its permission.

By morphing old into new, MS has broken its own guidelines: "alter, animate, or distort the trademarks or combine them with any other symbols". [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/lega.../general.aspx]

I am amazed I am allowed to switch on my machine.
