Microsoft Introduces Rethink, a Showcase of IE's Greatness
For the past couple of years, Microsoft has been promoting its Internet Explorer (IE) web browser with projects like Atari Arcade, Contre Jour, Hunger Games Explorer, Everest: Rivers of Ice, and Red Bull Rampage. All these projects were meant to showcase how much IE improved and how it can provide a beautiful and engaging browsing experience.
Microsoft took all these projects and bundled them together on the recently released Rethink, a “showcase of how Internet Explorer is helping to create a web that is fast, beautiful, and perfect for touch.”
Microsoft put a lot of effort into improving its Internet Explorer web browser. Starting with IE 10, the company set its sights on making IE a browser everyone can be proud to use. And to show just how much IE improved, Microsoft created several projects that offer an innovative browsing experience:
“Rethink is about where the Web has come from and where it can go with a modern browser like Internet Explorer,” said Microsoft’s Roger Capriotti, Senior Director, Internet Explorer Marketing. We’ve taken a different approach than others by helping create experiences that work well not only with Internet Explorer but across any modern browser and device. People expect their browser to be fast and so do we. But that’s not enough, we’ve also built the best touch-first browser for your tablet. And we’ve made real progress over the past two years with continued gains in market share worldwide. People are starting to ‘rethink’ Internet Explorer as we’ve challenged them to reconsider their outdated perceptions of the browser”.
