[Year 12 IT Apps] The end of Internet Explorer

[Garth, Lucas A]

My responses for what the new version of Internet Explorer could be called:

> 	Treacle
> 	Sloth
> 	Clippy version 2.0
> 	Fickle
> 	Department_Standard

I did enjoy the entry which called it "Firefox/Chrome Downloader"

Hi, Microsofties.

www.theverge.com/2015/3/17/8230631/microsoft-is-killing-off-the-internet-explorer-brand

"While Microsoft has dropped hints that the Internet Explorer brand is going away, the software maker has now confirmed that it will use a new name for its upcoming browser successor, codenamed Project Spartan.
Speaking at Microsoft Convergence yesterday, Microsoft's marketing chief Chris Capossela revealed that the company is currently working on a new name and brand.
"We?re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10," said Capossela.
"We?ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we?ll also have a new browser...
We have to name the thing."

I propose a new exciting contest - name that browser.

The winner receives 8 (EIGHT!) salted peanuts.
