(June 16): Microsoft Corp retired its Internet Explorer (IE) on Wednesday (June 15), putting an end to a quarter-century-old app while also sparking a small panic among businesses and government agencies that built internal systems around the unpopular browser. Japan may be the country most affected by the move as a survey in March found that 49% of companies in the Asian nation still use IE. Businesses across the country are now having to move swiftly to ensure they’re still able to run operations that previously relied on apps built atop Microsoft’s long-tenured browser. Microsoft has integrated an IE mode inside Edge, which it will support for an additional period of time. Read also:Microsoft retires iconic Internet Explorer web browser after 27 years
