    Microsoft to axe Internet Explorer

    Microsoft to axe Internet Explorer


    We’ve known for months now that Microsoft was working on a new browser currently named Project Spartan for Windows 10, but it always appeared as though the company planned to keep Internet Explorer front and center. But the negative connotations with the name were just too much — Microsoft is finally giving up on IE.

    Well how about that.

    Is there a way to transfer your Favorites and Bookmarks from your IE to your Google Chrome?

    EDIT: I just googled and found the answer.

    Well how about that.
    I have lost years of my life fixing problems directly related to IE and coding special cases to handle IE browsers. The only thing I have used it for since version 5 was to download a different browser.

    Let me articulate this for you:

    This is similar to the 45 year old 4th string journeyman QB in the NFL announcing his retirement.

    I have reviewed some shocking statistics on high traffic sites where Windows users are abandoning IE in droves. Chrome has been king for a while but it's just in the last year or so has Chrome been eating into Windows users. Also to note, Firefox is on a slow death watch as well.

    I am happy about both of these trends.
