Microsoft: "Give Internet Explorer (IE) another chance"
Quote:
In a wide-ranging "Ask Me Anything" chat on Reddit Thursday, developers and program managers from the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) team urged users to give the browser a second chance, crowed over the upcoming demise of IE8, and confirmed that even though they will push small, regular feature updates to customers, there will be an IE12.
They also revealed that they have considered changing Internet Explorer's name to distance the browser from its often-negative reputation.
"Often times the decision to not use Internet Explorer is largely based on experiences from a decade ago, and a much different IE," argued Jonathan Sampson
Everyone is so mean with Internet Explorer, people this ain't IE6 era anymore, Microsoft has improved A LOT since then, since IE9 it's a very good browser. Even though it has to improve its functionality a lot (for example the settings menu which is extremely outdated), it's probably the cleanest browser and it's definitely worth giving a try. If they completely redesign it, make it more customizable, keep improving its performance and give it another name it will have a much better reception.
