Internet Explorer 2

Microsoft Internet Explorer 2 (IE2) is the second version of <a href="/facts/Internet_Explorer/uL8a4Y5l">Internet Explorer</a> (IE), a graphical <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> by <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>. It was unveiled in October 1995, and was released on November 27, 1995, for <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a>, and on April 23, 1996, for <a href="/facts/Apple_Macintosh/8GhnXTK0">Apple Macintosh</a>.
Version 2 launched with 12 languages, including English, but this would expand to 24, 20, and 9. It lacked many features that became common in later IE versions, including the blue 'e' logo, integration with <a href="/facts/Windows_Explorer/oQW5yNnJ">Windows Explorer</a>, and bundled programs. Its market share was also much lower than later versions. During its tenure, IE market share only went up to about roughly 3-9%.
It is the last version of Internet Explorer to support <a href="/facts/Windows_NT_3.1/2mdmR1cL">Windows NT 3.1</a>.
Internet Explorer 2 is no longer supported, and is not available for download from Microsoft.
