Quote:Microsoft announced today that it plans to make Internet Explorer 11 available to the company's operating systems Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard.

Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) is the last version of Internet Explorer that Microsoft released. The company made the decision back when it was released to limit support to some versions of Windows; this meant, essentially, that operating systems such as Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 or Windows Embedded 8 Standard were not support.

The release history of Internet Explorer for Windows Server and Windows Embedded operating systems is quite confusing on first glance.

Microsoft did not release IE11 for Windows Server 2012 but it did release the browser for Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1. Similarly, Windows Embedded 8 Standard was limited to Internet Explorer 11 while Windows Embedded Standard 7 received Internet Explorer 11.

Microsoft revealed that it will make Internet Explorer 11 available for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard operating systems. The decision had to be made because support for Internet Explorer 10 security updates ends on January 14, 2020.

Internet Explorer 11 will be released for the two operating systems; administrators may download IE11 from Microsoft's Update Catalog website or distribute it using Windows Update or WSUS.
