Microsoft Internet Explorer will bury soon! – 5 minutes to kill

After 20 years of loyal service, despite some tantrums for many of us, the death of Microsoft’s browser, Internet Explorer, has just been announced and it will be replaced soon the next version of Windows!

This is information revealed by the Financial Times reported that the web browser, the most widely used since the advent of the Internet, Internet Explorer will disappear from the panel of the proposed software by the American giant Microsoft.

Fatal Encounters with Firefox and Chrome

Launched in the early 90s, Internet Explorer has quickly made a place in the sun in the middle of the browsers. The network is still in its infancy and Microsoft will not take long to get rid of the leader, Netscape. It must be said that having a tool like Windows where Internet Explorer was the only browser provided and that worked with Windows, it seems everything easier on.

Once Netscape ousted from the race, it was the age of gold for the US giant browser for over ten years. Until 2004, it was almost one and no less than 95% of consumer Internet web pages through it, but a fox named Firefox pointing his nose.

A competitor who appears therefore like David against Goliath. On one side the computer giant, another non-profit organization supported by thousands of volunteers and a fight for the market was started. In a few years IE lost 25% market share and the trend was not reversed by then, Google came …

Despite a rather difficult start to the Google browser, Chrome In 2009, it finally managed to get a place in his early years of life, pushing IE always a little more, before ending up all alone in the lead with 50% of Internet users at the dawn of the 2015.

After such a fall, Internet Explorer, with no more than 20% of Internet users (same for Firefox) in 2015, is difficult to recover from recent years and that is why we will not to waste his time at Microsoft and launched directly his successor!

Spartan code

To succeed him, the Financial Times article announces that a new browser should make its appearance with Windows 10. Called “Spartan” for the moment, this project can not be used on other versions of Windows. So for those who are on older versions, rejoice, you’re going to continue using IE quietly. Besides, nothing has been said about the death at Microsoft Internet Explorer, or even on the new browser.

For IE, although it will not be updated, that nostalgic rest assured, they can still be used on systems prior to Windows 10, Windows 95 like!
