At Microsoft Convergence conference, Microsoft announced that it will phase out its Internet Explorer to favor Project Spartan.
Internet Explorer that was first released in the mid-1990s, dominated the browser market at its peak in the early 2000s. Its monopoly resulted the first browser war and followed by a federal antitrust lawsuit that nearly led to Microsoft's court-ordered destruction. Since then the company has played relatively nice, other players came up and move quickly. IE then became notorious for annoying bugs and security failings, and made millions of users abandoned it for alternative browsers such as Firefox and Google Chrome.
