Some Versions Of Internet Explorer To Be Deep Sixed In January

If you like Microsoft Internet Explorer, you’ll need to pay attention to this. Some versions of Microsoft’s browser will be rendered unsupported as of January 12th. Here’s a quote from a support doc on this topic:

“The newest Internet Explorer offers improved security, increased performance, better backward compatibility, and support for the modern technologies that power today’s websites and services,” 

After January 12, the unsupported versions of IE will no longer receive updates. Thus you will either need to move to a newer version of IE or move to another browser. This isn’t a trivial matter as having an older version of Internet Explorer can leave you wide open to getting pwned by hackers. Thus I would strongly suggest that you take heed of this and take the appropriate action to protect yourself. Or you can move to Microsoft’s new Edge browser.
