Uh, scratch that. Edge and Edge Dev (the Chromium-based one) from a 
non-AD joined machine still shows a User/Password dialog when pressing 
the SPNEGO button.

/idp/profile/Authn/SPNEGO gives a:
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
but Edge still pops the prompt. When submitting a user and password it 
tries NTLM.
