微软将停止对IE 8/9/10的技术支持

Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 on certain Windows computers on January 12.
当地时间1月12日起，针对采用特定Windows操作系统的电脑，微软公司将停止支持它们所装载的IE 8/9/10浏览器。

Up to 20% of Internet browsers could be impacted, according to NetMarketShare.
NetMarketShare网站的数据显示，近两成的上网用户或受影响。

After next week, Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) will push security updates and bug fixes to Internet Explorer 11 only, on machines running Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.
下周之后，Windows 7/ 8.1 /10用户只能收到微软公司（MSFT，科技股30指数板块）针对IE11推送的安全更新程序及配套补丁。

Anyone who continues to use an out-of-date browser could put themselves at risk for malware and cyber attacks.
继续使用旧浏览器的用户可能会面临恶意软件威胁和网络攻击的风险。

Microsoft "encourages customers to upgrade" to Internet Explorer 11 "for a faster, more secure browsing experience."
微软公司“鼓励用户升级”至IE11“以获得更快捷更安全的上网体验。”

If you're running Windows Vista, Microsoft says it will continue to support Internet Explorer 9. Microsoft will also keep supporting older versions of IE on several enterprise server operating systems.
微软称，Windows Vista可继续支持IE9。公司也仍会维护某些企业服务器操作系统装载的旧版IE。

The company first announced plans to end support for its older web browsers in 2014.
微软于2014年首度透露暂停支持旧版浏览器的计划。

In 2015, with the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft gave customers a new default browser, Edge, which is a definite improvement over Internet Explorer.
2015年时，随着Windows 10的面世，微软为用户提供了全新的默认浏览器——Edge，同IE浏览器相比，Edge有了明显的改进。

Confusingly, though, the logo for Edge looks almost exactly like the logo for Internet Explorer.
可Edge的图标竟与IE的图标别无二致，这样做有些令人难以理解。
