IE浏览器20周年，如今正式被新款浏览器Microsoft Edge接棒。Microsoft Edge官微发表了祝词：Internet Explorer 20岁生日快乐!感谢你在过去做出的所有伟大贡献，今后由我继续发扬光大。

　　15年前——1995年8月16日，互联网历史上第一个浏览器：Microsoft Internet Explorer 1 诞生，成为微软首个网页浏览器。

　　August 16, 1995 is the official launch date for Internet Explorer 1.0, the first web browser fromMicrosoft. Today, 20 years later, the Microsoft Edge team, via its official Twitter account,celebrated that milestone, while at the same time also signaling that IE's days are numbered.

　　The post was accompanied by a video showing a Microsoft Edge browser running a site with somebirthday sparklers in the shape of an "e", and a "Happy Birthday" message. However, it was thetext of the Twitter post that's perhaps more interesting.

　　"Happy 20th Birthday, Internet Explorer! Thanks for all the great work you've done, but I've got itfrom here ;) "

　　Internet Explorer 1.0 actually launched as part of the Plus! for Windows 95 software product,which was made as an paid add-on for Windows 95. Later IE 1.0, and all other versions of thebrowser, were released for free. While Microsoft released a version of IE 11 in Windows 10 forlegacy website efforts, the company is clearly moving on with the new Microsoft Edge browser.
