Many people are not very happy about this change but the reason is that the tool is now capable of supporting the Windows mobile platform as well. With the new version Microsoft Edge has a new tool called Microsoft Web Platform Toolkit which helps the web developers in creating websites. The major difference between the old IE and the new one is the tool that is used for browsing the web. Windows internet explorer 9 which is codenamed Microsoft Edge is the new web browser from Microsoft that is completely rewritten to run on the Windows platform.
