Internet Explorer Support Stopped for 8,9 and 10.


               Microsoft has made many shocking moves to promote its new operating system named #Windows 10. Now there has been a hard decision taken by Microsoft regarding the support for Internet Explorer.

                Internet Explorer is the in built Internet Browser shipped with Windows operating system and it has variant such as versions 8 9 and 10. The new browser named #Edge browser has been integrated in Windows 10.

                Microsoft has decided to stop the support for Internet Explorer 8 9 and 10 from today (12.1.16) after releasing a security patch for the versions.

                After today (12.1.16) there will be no support and if there has been any security bug discovered will not be patched by Microsoft which may be a good news for some attackers.

                 This has been done by Microsoft and they also stated that to upgrade the browser to version 11 which is #Edge browser that is only now available in #Windows 10, so any user wishes to receive support for browser they have to move to Windows 10.

                  This may be a move by Microsoft to make their users to move to Windows 10 and use Microsoft Edge Browser.

P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
