| Anonymous Coward User ID: 64464447 United States03/18/2015 11:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: MadBob Many Windows users associate Internet Explorer with terrible performance and badly rendered websites, but that hasn’t actually been the case for a long time. The most recent iterations of the browser have worked well enough, yet the legacy of the monstrosity that was Internet Explorer 6 loomed large over them. Even Microsoft took shots at the browser in ads for later versions, but that wasn’t enough to remove the stigma. [link to www.foxnews.com] What do you use? I use Opera 12.17 or PaleMoon Project Spartan and Windows 10 it's a 100% trojan... |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 63589676 United States03/18/2015 11:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is AMAZING how in less than 10 years that shitty browser went from being at 90+ percent share - complete control - to an almost unused status <10%. I guess they figured they'd drop out and let chrome (google) do the internet spying. In another 10 years you will see MS OS usage use decline at a rate similar to this. After windows 8 the trend is noticeably accelerating, and by windows 10 look out. It looks to me that in 5 years you'll have MAC + Linux + mobiles at 40%-50% share. OUCH! It looks like MS is in a death spiral. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2498708 United States03/18/2015 11:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Microsoft can go bye bye as far as I'm concerned. There business model is not the future and with their demise we would have the push needed to get us in a better development position. IMHO open source is where it is at. Collective minds put together create the most awesome things and I have no problem whatsoever showing my gratitude in support and donations to the ones who make it happen and who maintain the transparency at a level you can only get when things are open sourced. |

But we web developers fear they will just rename the "thing". Last Edited by Face Palmer on 03/19/2015 06:23 AM "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |
