Microsoft Ships Internet Explorer 2.0 November 27, 1995
Microsoft Corp. shipped Internet Explorer 2.0, starting a browser war with the popular Netscape Navigator. Netscape Communications Corp. had had a virtual monopoly on World Wide Web browsers since the infancy of the web. The Netscape Navigator and Communicator browsers serve as a format for viewing and creating World Wide Web pages, as well as participating in newsgroups and sending e-mail. Microsoft promotes its Internet Explorer with specific mention of its privacy and encryption.
I hadn't heard of IE until version 3 was released. How can I go back to those innocent times?
I hear there's a time machine at the Costco
Man, IE was always such hot garbage.
