The browser we love to hate!

Internet Explorer will not be included in the next new version of Windows, for those who love it you'll be left with the results of Project Spartan.

I think they're both being included at first, so as to allow a transition period.

IE will live on... Consider the number of businesses still using IE6.

They'll be streamed to you as MS thinks that's the way people want it.

Think Ballmer said that people didn't want to have to do maintenance.

I've got Office 2013 on this machine and on a few occassions it's apologised for not being able to start Outlook or Word because it's applying updates.

Personally I prefer Windows Update myself.

A rose by any other name...

Or, even if they build a new browser from the ground up... will they make any improvements?

The only good thing to take from this is that it will not migrate any of the bugs, exploits or viruses from IE. That alone is a good thing. :)
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.

Squeaky bum time at Adobe I reckon as plugin support seems to be dwindling.
