C'mon, IE 10, REALLY??? ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

IE was buried years ago and is now a zombie POS that walks slower than Michael Myers...

Never used IE, never will. There was a short time when some sites would not work with Firefox, but long gone now.

I trust IE as much as Google with keeping things out of Obolas's clutches.

I’m beginning to conclude earlier versions of technology are relatively more secure due to software obsolescence, where the latest and greatest become more susceptible.

Earlier vintage automobiles are more secure from hacking than the latest which have greater risk due to technology that takes away our privacy.

Internet Explorer is a VIRUS, not a browser. It has more holes than Swiss cheese.

And when it comes to Windows 7/8/10, I still have two old laptops running Vista, and that's the end of the road for me and their crappy OS. Everything else I have (and will have) is either Apple or uses Linux.

Ehh... this article is somewhat misleading. They'll still support IE depending on the OS. For instance, on Windows Server 2012 (non-R2), you'll still get support for IE10. Likewise, if you're using Vista, they'll still support IE9.

The big push for this is to rid the market of anything earlier than IE9. There still some stragglers for IE8 (e.g. POS systems), but those older operating environments are coming to EOS themselves.

See the chart on the Microsoft software lifecycle support page.

I quit running it in 2009. Opera and Pale Moon work very, very well. Never liked MS’ browsers. I was a Netscape user from ‘95 on.

Using the words, “Microsoft” and “support” in the same sentence is laughable. Microsoft opens their door a crack, throws out a new software concoction, slams and locks the door, and it’s over. You request assistance, their hands cover their ears and and the response is, “la la la... I can’t hear you”.

I use IE (11) to access Outlook Web Access, and that’s about it. RAM is cheap, I use multiple browsers.

I really like the edge browser, it’s faster then Chrome but the lack of plugin support is hard to take. I understand the reasons behind that decision but I got three plugins I use all the time that I love.
