IE 8/9/10 become end of life

Microsoft have announced that from 12th January 2016 Internet Explorer versions 8, 9 and 10 will become End of Life

This is good news for us web developers as we no longer have to support these browsers (unless our specific users are still on these versions – think corporate networks). Microsoft will release a notification for users still on these IE versions to upgrade with End of Life effectively meaning that there will no longer be any security updates to the browser.

The end of life notification can be disabled, but why bother? Just upgrade to IE11 or better yet, use Firefox or Chrome
