Microsoft to axe Internet Explorer
« on: March 18, 2015, 10:52:44 AM »
Wow! I never expected this. Of course, I use it as little as possible, preferring Opera and Firefox. But, to remove and replace it?

Will Spartan be any better? What features will it provide to draw users back to it?

Losing IE isn't much of a loss.  :cheersmate:

A rose by any other name is still a rose and a POS browser by any other name is still IE.

MS lost me when they let IE6 rot on the vine (i.e. didn't improve something in serious need of improving). I jumped to Firefox 1.1, and stuck with FF for years - eventual upgrades to IE offered no compelling reasons to switch back. FF lost me last year when they forced out their CEO for having un-PC opinions: tried Opera and barely tolerated it; switched to Iron and I'm happy with it.

    I used them all. Chrome now but I keep IE because it has tools that help my HP laptop.
