[@KomradeMikhail]

I still have a bunch of Beta versions of IE 4 and 5 from when I was a beta tester at AOL in the late 90's. These are all on official pressed CD's that came delivered FedEx... AOL was serious business back in the day. The AOL suite was known to flip-flop around which browser it ran as a backend hidden beneath it's own software front... and it was not always clear to the end user. Started as Mosaic, sometimes it was Netscape, sometimes IE.

[@mjdxp5688]

Haha, that's amazing! I was actually trying to use some old versions of IE but I couldn't install them all because many of them detect the version of IE on your system already and refuse to install. This will be really useful! I can finally collect all the Infinity Explorers

Oh the nostalgia. I actually miss the interface of IE from 4.0 to 6.0. I liked having the menu bar on one line, then the standard buttons, and then the web address bar. It was clean. Now we have buttons and bars all mixed in. I miss the little throbber in the upper right corner of the browser. Back in those days, we all mainly had dial-up or maybe slow (by today's standards) DSL. I remember getting mesmerized by the image of the Earth spinning around the Windows Flag waiting for a website to load. Now today, all we get is a spinning circle or dots. BORING!

[@NightpireVideos]

I used IE up to version 6 until I discovered that firefox had tabs instead opening an entire new window. We make fun of IE now, but it was a perfectly fine browser back then.

[@GianfrancoGallizia]

I suspect that, while technically different versions of the Microsoft browser, IE4 through IE8 EXEs all link to the trident engine DLL which is just one for the whole system. That's why the about windows reports the latest version for all of them.

[@hanro50]

The word trident is still present in IE11's user agent. Actually one of the ways you can check for ei 11

[@s0men00bb]

Great nostalgia moments here. I remember when web pages used to have recomemned version of IE in footer and recomemned screen resolution. :) It was like IE 4 and resolution of 800x600 and later it became 1024x768. :) They also had at the bottom page visit counter too. And there was usually clickable link to service that provided that counter (js script usually). Some of them also featured ActiveX controls that were required for page to display correctly. :) I liked the fact , that there wasn't so much malware , and especially ones that used to hijack browser home page , add bookmarks and other , at that time , annoying staff. And how easy it was to create your own ActiveX object and host it on your website without too much hassle if it wasn't signed. :) The time I spent enjoying and learning VS98 coding. :) I was also big fan of IE 5.5 and IE 6.0 , and they used to be golden standard until IE 7 showed up , and made using IE very annoying. :)

[@Vinicius_Berger]

10:45 It DOES actually show up exactly like it does in the previous version, but you haven't changed the "text options" from "selective text on right". If you did, they would both look the same.

[@BSzili]

I could have used something like this in the early 2000s, when I was making websites by hand in HTML. Then again, most people used IE5 and IE6 back then depending on what OS they had (Win98SE or WinXP).

[@ampkartcom]

You can still use it. According to the data in 2020, there are still 200 million people in the world (developing countries) that still use IE6

[@JustinC721]

I'm really happy with the new Chromium based egde. The integration of IE mode means that I can finally use a single browser at work instead of always having to go back to IE for legacy crap. What I fear though is that Edge being chromium based will give google a near complete monopoly of internet browsers. Historically, IE has had large marketshare simply for being the default browser for Windows. Once the new Chromium based Edge takes that role, I think we'll see that happen again. And now that the browser is actually good (and works well with legacy web apps), it would give people even less incentive to find an alternative.

[@MathewMaher]

I remember the early 1.5/2.0 versions. Wow. I also recall using Netscape Navigator during those days.

[@DavidWonn]

Back in the late 90s, IE was so intertwined with Windows OSes, that it was very difficult to have multiple versions installed. Ironically it was easier to have multiple versions of it on Windows 3.1 than it was on 95 or 98. Windows NT4 could generally keep its bundled IE2 alongside one other version. If you made websites back in those days, it was far easier to test in multiple versions of Netscape, Opera, and others, since there was (almost) no limit to how many versions you could install on the same OS. I, for one, am glad that IE is long since dead.

[@CesareVesdani]

[@MoonlightMirage]

Ohhh the memories of 6.0 That was my first internet browser - the interface popped very nicely, I even remember that dog from the search menu! And, honestly, the logo of the "blue e" as I called it, has stuck with me as well. Never got behind all the shading and highlights of the logo from 4.0 through 5.5, and the yellow halo from 7.0 onwards did not appeal to me that much.

[@bLd321]

So now I know that my first web browser was Internet Explorer 4.01. :)

[@juancriolivares]

The toolbar of IE 3 was gray with a slightly darker gray for the lines. You can find screenshots on Google.

[@roymerkel8008]

Interestingly, IE 5.01 (or maybe 5.10) was last IE supported in windows 3.XX, but by fact you can run all IEs without otvdm/winevdm, I'm guessing this pack includes 32bit versions.

[@kbhasi]

As for the 2 builds of IE 6, one is SP1, the other is SP2

[@brokenliterally]

My parents still use IE, they are using the last version of IE on Win7 and they said to me, “Back in my day, Internet Explorer was revolutionary and blazing fast!” And I said : “Well its not the 90’s, its 2021, Chrome is what we all use nowadays.”

[@elleodurkin409]

Wow, have not seen what I saw at 6:41 (IE 3.0) for twenty years. The blue circular lines are done with a “command bar theme”. They were popular for about a year in the mid-to-late 1990s and essentially allowed you to apply a visual theme to the command bar and address bar, which are located below the title bar and menu bar. From memory, some other browsers also had them. I vaguely remember there were themes for, say, Ferrari or Pamela Anderson’s tits, sorry, Baywatch. It was annoying finding a command bar theme that complemented the desktop theme.

[@KoalaBerzerker]

Since Edge is now on everything, could you consider making a video on the MacOS versions of IE? Might not be a very long video but surely intersting - at least for me -, IE on Mac.

[@Daevid11]

[@_wouter52]

Nice video! Question: I see that version 1.5 (@ 5:12) has the luna theme too. Does that mean that the first version of IE does not run in virtual dos machine?

[@MichaelMJD]

[@mvShooting]

Perhaps it's the Windows NT version, which is a 32-bit application, probably.

[@lorrewatkins5925]

The good old software days with (16 bit) computing. Its so Cool to see how far we have come'd in technology ! Would have been nice to hear the back-end improvements regarding performance that Microsoft did to the different versions of IE. Firefox was the first browser ever to include the Tab interface, then with IE7 which was launched with Win Vista, Microsoft copied that idea from Firefox, which was a very good move by Microsoft in my opinion, Then every other browser started to have the tab UI like Opera, then Chrome and so on.

[@netsendjoe]

In 2003 I had put together a CD that contained all versions of IE from 1.0 to 6.0, even slipstreamed them myself. Unfortunately, due to the crappy lifetime of CD-R's this prolly remains unreadable buried in a collection of equally unreadable collectables. Glad Utilu stepped in and made something like it with a better download size.

But I could not install it the normal way because I had a newer version. So I got another VM going with an older version of XP that had IE6 and I copied the files where IE6 was installed. So I copied all the files onto a shared folder between the 2 VMs. I then went into the VM that I wanted IE6 to be in and I copied the files there manually and it worked!
