There will be an extension, according to Microsoft, for Windows 10 LTSC and Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems, but that still leaves a lot of customers scrambling as they are “pushed off of the diving board”. The company will end support of IE 11 for Windows 10 Operating Systems on June 15th of this year - and that's coming up very fast. Users are being notified that Microsoft ended IE 11 support for Microsoft Teams on November 30th, 2020, and for Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft applications on August 17th, 2021. In fact, a Forrester 2021 survey of 40 enterprises on behalf of Microsoft showed that, on average, enterprises have 1,678 legacy applications running on Internet Explorer! It is also a wake-up call for businesses to move from a “box-license,” on-premise software purchase approach to Microsoft's new Office 365 offering (albeit less new now than it was a few years ago) which allows users to take advantage of dynamic cloud service models. This notification on IE 11 is big news for businesses that rely on systems using Internet Explorer as a standard. Microsoft announced on May 19th, 2021 that it will be phasing out its Internet Explorer browser entirely, and replacing it with Microsoft Edge, a newer and edgier (pun intended) version of the prominent traditional web browser, while also continuing to update the OS options available to customers. Business users with systems that are even a few years old are ringing the warning bells.
