Microsoft ending support for older versions of IE

Post by onepacs » Tue Jan 19, 2016 12:28 pm

Microsoft has announced that it will no longer be supporting older versions of it's Internet Explorer web browser for currently supported versions of Windows. This means that for most PCs, Internet Explorer 11 will be the only version which will receive security patches and updates.

The following is from Microsoft's public announcement:
Internet Explorer 11 is the last version of Internet Explorer, and will continue to receive security updates, compatibility fixes, and technical support on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.
While OnePacs will remain compatible with IE 8+ in the short term, we recommend the upgrade to IE 11 or other supported browser that will receive security and stability updates. Using a browser with up-to-date security patches may be an organizational or regulatory requirement depending on the requirements that your organization is subject to. If you plan on using an out-of-date version of Internet Explorer it is recommended that you consult with your compliance officer to determine whether the use of a potentially insecure browser is permissible.
