IE 11 is still part of Windows 10 and it's in fact the only browser shipping in the long-term support version of Windows 10
Expect IE11 to be around for the duration that Windows 10 is around which, unfortunately, is going to be forever (as Windows 10 is said to be the last version of Windows ever released) or at least for the foreseeable future
- louthy 8y agoEdge is getting a Chromium back-end with talk of Windows 7 and 8 support. So, perhaps that's a strategy to kill IE11 too (fingers crossed).
- jayflux 8y agoI think Edge will continue to exist as a product, it will just have a Chromium backend. Also there’s no guarantee that IE 11 will last forever just because it’s on Windows 10. There can always be a major update in future with it removed if MS really want to kill it..
- robohoe 8y ago> as Windows 10 is said to be the last version of Windows ever released Is that because "continuous rolling updates" for Windows 10 or because Microsoft will eventually replace the Windows kernel with some other kernel, such as Linux (just a conspiracy theory of mine)?
- ken 8y agoMicrosoft, like most companies, don't use the internal implementation as part of the name brand. It was called "Windows" long before it got the current kernel. ("Edge" is switching engines, too, but not names.) I see no reason they'd change the Windows name even if they decided to switch out the kernel.
