Microsoft Internet Explorer sends retired. The new browser, which will come with the next version of the Windows operating system, code-named Project Spartan and its goal is to catapult Microsoft beyond the world “Web 1.0″ for which it was designed Explorer.
With Spartan – reports the Financial Times -, Microsoft hopes to overcome the weaknesses of Explorer and create a browser that’s better suited to the digital life lived on various devices. Although it was once loved by almost a billion people, Explorer does not seem to be better suited to the new generation. “In the war of the future, which is mobile, they are losing. No download Internet Explorer on their mobile devices, “say some analysts. Microsoft is not in fact been able to make Internet Explorer integral part of everyday life, “do not like” is used – underline analysts – just because it is pre-set on the computer, and because its use is imposed by the companies.
Launched in 1990, Internet Explorer has become one of the symbols of Microsoft, who introduced him as a competitor to Netscape, offering it free with the Windows operating system. In just three years, Microsoft was successful in its goal, with Internet Explorer which represented 95% of the use of the browser. But the new millennium has not got the same satisfaction, and the combination of complacency and lack of anticipating the mobile revolution have left that Internet Explorer not start on the road to sunset. Before Firefox and Chrome have then subtracted shares Internet Explorer, whose percentage of use has dropped to 20% of the total, with Chrome at 50%.
The name of the Internet Explorer is still going again for a while, with a new version that will be included in the next release of Windows along with Spartan to make life easier for companies that develop software to work with the browser.
