New York(CNN Business)Internet Explorer is so reviled, even Microsoft is turning its back on it.

Microsoft announced this week that its workplace chat software Teams will no longer be available on Internet Explorer as of November 30, and its 365 apps, including Office products, won't work on IE beginning August 17, 2021.

It's a momentous decision that adds yet another nail in the coffin of one of the most hated software products of all time. But IE isn't going away just yet.
