Microsoft 365 apps to end Internet Explorer support next year:

Internet Explorer's days have been numbered since Microsoft launched its Edge browser five years ago. Microsoft appears to be another step toward closer to retiring the web browser with the announcement its Microsoft 365 apps suite will end support for Internet Explorer 11 on Aug. 17, 2021, the company said Monday.

Users of Microsoft's Teams chat and collaboration service will lose IE 11 support a bit earlier, on Nov. 30, Microsoft said in a blog post. Microsoft also said it would end support for the Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop app on March 9, 2021.

    Some years ago, a friend called me and said, "I just accepted a job at Microsoft. Will you still be my friend?"

    I'm still not convinced MS is not evil anymore, but this was before MS had made any moves away from the dark side.

    I have a good friend (a fraternity brother from college,) who also worked for Microsoft; our friendship lasted throughout this. He was eventually laid off by MIcrosoft.

    However, our friendship is significantly more strained right now. He a devout Trump support and spews the Rupublitard spin on everything. Even when he was benefiting from the extended unemployment package after he was laid off he refused to acknowledge that he was being helped by Obama and the democrats. (He was laid off by Microsoft during the financial crisis a decade ago.) Out of one cult... and into another.

    The fact is, after 30 years of friendship, I know he is not a racist. He is a catholic and has a strong anti-abortion stance. We both grew up in the same city in the NE and while we were both republican leaning back in our college days, I felt disillusioned by the party caring more about the religious right than the fiscal responsibility. I became an independent, while his religious view on abortion drew him further into the republican party. Now that is what keeps him there and he has a big set of horse blinders on for anything that is not reported by fox news.

    Note: Those who are familiar with me on this site probably realize by now that I am a huge wise-ass and joke all the time. But this is no joke, it is true, and honestly I find it a bit painful that my friend and I are currently strained like this right now. I have not given up on the friendship, but it is very hard right now for us to even talk with each other.
