It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 that year. Later versions were available as free downloads, or in service packs, and included in the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of Windows. Internet Explorer was one of the most widely used web browsers, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003. This came after it managed to win the first browser war against Netscape, which was the dominant browser in the 1990s. Its usage share has since declined with the launch of Firefox (2004) and Google Chrome (2008), and with the growing popularity of operating systems such as OS X, Linux, iOS and Android that do not run Internet Explorer. Estimates for Internet Explorer's overall market share range from 17.11% to 51.59% or by StatCounter's numbers ranked 3rd, just after Firefox (or even as low as 10.3% when counting all platforms, then after Safari〔http://gs.statcounter.com/#all-browser-ww-monthly-201502-201509〕), (browser market share is notoriously difficult to calculate). Microsoft spent over per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s, with over 1,000 people working on it by 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The rise, fall, and rehabilitation of Internet Explorer )〕 Versions of Internet Explorer for other operating systems have also been produced, including an Xbox 360 version called Internet Explorer for Xbox and an embedded OEM version called Pocket Internet Explorer, later rebranded Internet Explorer Mobile made for Windows Phone, Windows CE, and previously, based on Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Mobile. It remains in development alongside the desktop versions. Internet Explorer for Mac and Internet Explorer for UNIX (Solaris and HP-UX) have been discontinued. On March 17, 2015, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Edge will replace Internet Explorer as the default browser on its Windows 10 devices. This effectively makes Internet Explorer 11 the last release. Internet Explorer will, however, remain on some versions of Windows 10 primarily for enterprise purposes. Starting January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer on each operating system will be supported. Support varies based on the operating system's technical capabilities and its support lifecycle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Internet Explorer Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ )〕 The browser has been scrutinized throughout its development for use of third-party technology (such as the source code of Spyglass Mosaic, used without royalty in early versions) and security and privacy vulnerabilities, and the United States and the European Union have alleged that integration of Internet Explorer with Windows has been to the detriment of other browsers. ==History== The Internet Explorer project was started in the summer of 1994 by Thomas Reardon, who, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Review of 2003, used source code from Spyglass, Inc. Mosaic, which was an early commercial web browser with formal ties to the pioneering National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) Mosaic browser. In late 1994, Microsoft licensed Spyglass Mosaic for a quarterly fee plus a percentage of Microsoft's non-Windows revenues for the software.〔 Although bearing a name similar to NCSA Mosaic, Spyglass Mosaic had used the NCSA Mosaic source code sparingly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Memoirs From the Browser Wars )〕 Microsoft was sued by Synet Inc. in 1996, over the trademark infringement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「| operating system = Windows, OS X, Solaris, HP-UX| included with = Windows 95 OSR1 and laterWindows NT 4 and laterMac OS 8.1 through Mac OS X 10.2Xbox 360Xbox One| platform = IA-32, x64, ARMv7, IA-64, PowerPC, 68k, SPARC, PA-RISC| size = | engines = Trident, ChakraEdgeHTML (experimental, W10 only)(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inside Microsoft’s New Rendering Engine For The "Project Spartan" – Smashing Magazine )| programming language = C++| language count = 95| language footnote = | status = | genre = Web browserFeed reader| license = Proprietary, requires a Windows license| website = MOS:COMPUTING」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
