Default Microsoft blackballs IE

Finally, Microsoft is officially saying IE shouldn't
be used:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/...er/ba-p/331732

As with most Microsoft writing, it's poorly written, in a
conversational but quasi-technical style with clunky,
made-up terms thrown in.
For example, "technical debt" means existing reasons you
need to use IE. "Endpoints" means websites. I wish MS
would provide basic English classes for their employees.

The author is not pointing to the security
problems at all. He only points out that MS broke IE11
in terms of backward compatibility, paints that as a
good thing, and doesn't want you to blame MS for IE11
not working as expected. Of course, if IE11 was standards
compliant and still supported quirks mode by default, it
would be universally compatible. Instead, IE11 does neither.

Interestingly, the author never even mentions Edge.
So the official MS position now is, "please don't use our
browsers online"! No problem, folks.
