Internet Explorer Last modified: Tuesday, May 06, 2008
Formerly called Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE), Internet Explorer (IE) is the name of Microsoft's browser that enables you to view Web pages on the Internet using a graphical interface. Internet Explorer was first introduced in 1995 and it is the most popular browser used today. The latest official release, Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) was made available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista. This version included the popular tabbed browsing option, a feature first used by Mozilla in 2001, a new feed reader, and other features. The beta version of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) was released in early 2008. Internet Explorer supports Java and JavaScript and also supports ActiveX. See "What Do Temporary Internet Files Do?
