'Guess we finally ran out of microchips': Bill Gates'. Internet Explorer finally retired.

After a long run of 27 years, Internet Explorer finally retired earlier this week. And netizens have been reacting to the news with rib-tickling memes and jokes. Now, joining the bandwagon is also Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, who had a hilarious take on the matter.

From Wednesday, Microsoft discontinued its support for the once-dominant browser that netizens had anything but hate for, infamous for operating like a snail, an anomaly in the ever-evolving and fast-paced internet world.
