What we're hearing from you
Microsoft, please listen to us, you seem to select only what you want to hear. We don't like IE icon you are using on this browser. Can I repeat that again, we hate your old ugly IE icon - we started seeing this icon in Windows 95 and you're still using it in 2019. Do you remember how ugly the 90's websites used to look like, and you guys are so stuck in the past using an icon designed in the 90's and you expect people to embrace your browser in 2020!
Millennials form the bulk of internet users right now and we are the ones who will drive the growth of this browser. You can't use an old design that you introduced to us when we were kids and expect us to use it when we are at the peak of our productive lives. What makes you think we will keep using any browser with IE legacy. Which millennial wants to drive a 1995 car today? Show me one. We all want to drive the latest models of our favorite brand of cars. Majority of users do want to be in the same boat with you, being stuck in the past, if that is what you enjoy.
This blue "e" icon invokes a feeling of an old, ugly, slow and clunky browser simply because it looks like IE that we all hated. Why would you push something that people hated? Tell the old rigid guys if you have them on your team, that it's time to change. The world is ready to change, but Microsoft is not ready. Is there a company that has not re-branded since 1995? Well, Microsoft doesn't want to re-brand, it's still stuck in the past.
Microsoft, I hope you're listening and feeling our frustration.
