"And sadly, the breakup is happening on Valentine’s Day; what a pity."

Given the protracted, Monty Python-esque death of Windows 11

Unintentional slip there right?

That cold post title reads more like a post from The Register.

What will all those poor hackers exploit now? Won't someone think of the h4XORs?

On Win 10 Pro

It's getting better (well not really)...

Though there should be much rejoicing, and good riddance, over Explorer's final demise. How much "embrace and extend" are we still living with to this day??

This was obviously coming. MS wants people using Edge rather than Explorer because the spyware in Edge is newer, harder to block and tracks a lot more.

 

[Glock24]

Nobody will miss IE, but then nobody should use Edge either. Better get a Browser that has a lot less tracking and spyware, like Vivaldi.

I retired Internet explorer, at least a few decade ago. Years but I haven’t used it in well over 10 years.

It was as if thousands of corporate and government websites cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
