THE big day is here — Microsoft will end technical support and security updates for older versions of its Internet Explorer browser as of today.

“Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical supports and security updates,” explains the software giant, in a post on its website.

“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.”

The Redmond, Wash.-based firm is also touting the benefits of the Microsoft Edge browser, which features on the Windows 10 operating system.

The tech giant’s goal is to get Windows 10 running on 1 billion devices in the next few years. “We’re seeing increased preference for Windows 10 with consumers. Since Black Friday, US retail PC share for Windows 10 grew 16 points to 62 per cent compared to the prior four weeks,” Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi wrote in a blog post.

Somehow I don't believe that...is it possible?
Were people annoyed so much with the undeletable* pop up "Upgrade to Windows 10"
that they upgraded?

*At least it's undeletable for me because of laziness.
