They're not going to kill off IE, it's the only browser on server/ltsb SKUs. They've said that edge is a no go for those because of how frequently edge gets updates compared to the os.
- babypuncher 8y agoWhy they can't figure out how to update the browser independently of the OS is beyond comprehension. IE and Edge are the only non-evergreen browsers which is probably they are the most problematic to target. I develop primarily in Firefox, but I never have bugs pop up in Chromium or WebKit browsers, only IE and Edge.
- tenebrisalietum 8y agoI thought because `iexplore.exe` is a thin wrapper around `mshtml.dll`. I'm not sure how thin, but most of the functionality is in that and maybe other DLLs.
- anticensor 8y agoNot so thin. You should have thought of Winhlp.
- ndnxhs 8y agoWhy does a server need a web browser
- switch007 8y agoPackage management ;-)
- tenebrisalietum 8y agoBecause the server is a license server in a company that has a hardware HASP key that is managed by service that exposes its interface only through localhost HTTP.
- ndnxhs 8y agoWould take no time at all to set up nginx to allow you to connect from your desktop. Likely much more secure than having an ancient browser on a server.
