Microsoft To Drop Support For Older Versions of Internet Explorer

An anonymous reader writes After January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates. For example, customers using Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10 on Windows 7 SP1 should migrate to Internet Explorer 11 to continue receiving security updates and technical support. From the blog post: "Microsoft recommends enabling automatic updates to ensure an up-to-date computing experience—including the latest version of Internet Explorer—and most consumers use automatic updates today. Commercial customers are encouraged to test and accept updates quickly, especially security updates. Regular updates provide significant benefits, such as decreased security risk and increased reliability, and Windows Update can automatically install updates for Internet Explorer and Windows."

Or they could fix the broken version detection code, so that it only does that with actually "broken" versions of IE.

Sorry, but ALL versions of IE have been broken.

IE has consistently been a terribly browser, which can't adhere to any standards.

IE is a steaming pile of shit, always has been.
