Microsoft bids farewell to Internet Explorer on Thursday, stirring a sense of panic among many businesses and government agencies in Japan that waited to update their websites until the last minute.
Since April, Tokyo-based software developer Computer Engineering & Consulting has been inundated with requests for help.
[...] "They have known [about the phaseout] for a long time, but they must have postponed taking actions," said a CEC official, who expects the chaos among the procrastinated customers to last for "a few months."
[...] They said the browser was used for employee attendance management, expenses settlement and other internal tools. In some cases, they have no choice but to use Internet Explorer because of clients' systems used to handle orders. Over 20% of these respondents did not know or had not figured out how to transition to other browsers after Internet Explorer's retirement.
Government agencies are particularly slow to respond. The portal site for information on government procurement and bidding will switch its recommended browsers to Microsoft's new Edge and Google Chrome on Thursday. But for Japan Pension Service, notices concerning online applications must be viewed in Edge's Internet Explorer mode. The website of a government-backed mutual aid corporation for private schools still listed Internet Explorer as its only recommended browser.

I think the nations are getting played against each other big time by world level industrialists and banksters to drain financial resources from everyone to finance the warmongering.
I believe all of us are being taken for fools. Putin too.
Everybody is someone else's bad guy. While the banksters sell us arms, made by their industrialists, to annihilate each other.
I have a hard time considering Putin to be my enemy.
He's caught up in this web of deceit and lies as much as the rest of us are. If anything, this mess is a result of the military industrial complex Eisenhower spoke of.

He's already adequately compensated for his role as head of a kleptocracy. It'll be interesting to see how much wealth his family and allies managed to stash away.
I don't have similar difficulties. Brazenly evil choices are never acceptable no matter how many world level industrialists are around.
He helped spin that web.
