<i> <i> 21.35 pm </i> #RIP Internet Explorer: Microsoft makes way for new, renamed browser

The official announcement was made at a Microsoft Convergence conference in Atlanta, Georgia, where the head of marketing said that the new flagship browser for Windows, called Project Spartan, will not be associated with the Internet Explorer brand. While Internet Explorer will still exist on Windows 10 for compatibility purposes, it will take a back seat to the new browser.

The Verge reported Microsoft's marketing chief Chris Capossela saying, "We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10."

Does this also mean we have to bid goodbye to the memes and jokes about Internet Explorer's speed? Because those were kind of funny.</p>
