IE finally bye-bye to us. In recent years, IE has been a bad, ridiculed and neglected. In the early days of the internet, IE was also high-spirited. Let's review the process of IE from birth to death.

1995: IE 1

Microsoft buys the Spyglass company's Spyglass Mosaic browser's authorization, modifies it, renamed it Internet Explorer. At that time, Spyglass and Netsacape were in fierce competition.

1995: IE 2

IE 1 has only been released for several months, IE 2 has been published. Netscape Navigator occupies nearly 90% of the market in 1996, and many Web sites are only compatible with navigator. IE 2 had to replicate some of the features of Navigator, import bookmarks from Navigator, and support navigator HTML features so that the Web page works in different browsers.

1996:ie 3

IE 3 is Microsoft's first truly powerful browser to challenge Netscape Navigator. Microsoft's Converse design of JavaScript has created a different version of Jscript,jscript that supports ActiveX, Plug-ins, and 128-bit encryption. IE 3 abandoned the Spyglass source code, but still adopted some spyglass technology. Microsoft was sued to Spyglass $8 million trillion in compensation for $2 million in 1995.

1997:ie 4

With Windows bundled, ie finally overwhelmed navigator in market share. This is also the beginning of the way IE went to monopoly. At the other end of the road to Monopoly is the notorious U.S. case against Microsoft in 2001 years.

1999:ie 5

In March, IE 5 was released and later bundled with Windows 98, which was released in September of the same year. As with IE 51, XMLHttpRequest (XHR) and HTML Creator (HTA) are also available. On the eve of IE 6 release, ie 5 market share has exceeded 80%. Of course, thanks largely to the bundling with Windows.

2001:ie 6

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are all shipped with IE 6. As of 2002, IE market share nearly 90%. IE 6 is notorious for security vulnerabilities.

In a report in 2004, Cert pointed out that IE 6 and Windows bundled, very unsafe, is too much of a hindrance. Some security experts also warn users not to use IE 6.

2006, PC World rated IE 6 as the worst technology product.

2006:ie 7

From IE 6 released to IE 7 release, the middle of more than five years. IE 7 is the default browser for Windows Vista, with the release of 256-bit encryption and the Windows RSS platform.

To improve security issues, in IE 7, ActiveX controls run processes autonomously. Perhaps because the version iteration is too long, ie 7 can't keep up with IE 6 market share, for Mozilla Firefox provides an opportunity.

2009:ie 8

IE 8 corrects the problems in the previous two releases and introduces new developer tools and features. But Mozilla Firefox and Chrome have been catching up, IE 8 has little room for redemption.

2011:ie 9

IE 9 changed the user interface, focusing on HTML 5, CSS3, XHTML. IE 9 is released independently and is not bundled with any system. As a promotion, Microsoft spent a lot of money to tinker with TV commercials, but also in the Tumblr dedicated to the small station to laugh at themselves.
Many commentators say IE 9 is technically comparable to Firefox and Chrome. But the market's response to IE 9 is flat.

2012:ie 10

IE 10 is only available for WIN8, and the built-in Adobe Flash player has two separate versions: Metro Edition and Desktop edition. The Metro version highlights the touch-Win8 feature, does not support Plug-ins, and the desktop version is a traditional version that supports Plug-ins.
Critics of IE 10 lukewarm, ie 10 to a large extent by the WIN8.

2013:ie 11

IE 11 is released together with Win8.1. Critics say its performance can be compared to Chrome and Firefox, but compatibility lags behind Chrome and Firefox.

2015:ie's successor.

The name of the new browser is unknown. The details that have been disclosed are: integration with Cortana, supporting Web page annotations in the browser, sharing with others, adding new text-reading tools, and improving the cross-platform interaction experience based on the new rendering engine.
