Looks like the context understander has logged on. Welcome!
They were asking about "internet" versus "internet explorer", so that's not relevant.
The Internet Explorer is not for exploring the internet, but the world wide web, so the name never did make sense.
I guess intranets don't exist.
Actually, it views HTML. But if you call it Microsoft HTML Viewer and then wonder why nobody clicks on it.........
