Here's a little secret...
If you are like me, and do not like drastic change to the worse, use this frontend:
http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3449
It works with Windows 10 as well. I have never had issue since XP(the best OS from microsoft btw) and have used this since to maintain the 'look' of XP i want. Who cares what's below the skin as long as it runs well, and if 10 turns out to be good, i will use this with it as well....
Cheers,
Matt
ps: windows 10 still can use IE...it is just hidden from view as they are trying to push Spartan more: http://windowsitpro.com/windows-10/tale-two-windows-10-browsers
"Internet Explorer 11 is included with Windows 10. It is not, however, the default browser; Edge is the default. To run it, you should search for Internet Explorer: click the Start Button, then start typing "Internet". It should show up as a search result. Once you have found it, I recommend you pin it to the Taskbar, or the Start Menu, so you can find it again quickly."

I can't see any reason to revert to IE really.... but for me, i like to have different browsers around for when i test web design, to make sure what i do is compatible multi-platform....but just for browsing, it is more of nostalgia or habit for me. I use firefox mostly, but it is buggy tremendously, but i like to tinker sometimes.
I've been a computer admin and web admin/designer for close to 25 years now.
My comment about under the skin was for the lay user, not admin types, who obviously need to understand what they are fixing. Windows 7 seems to be a good OS as well. I only use it in 64 bit on a couple systems.

I now have windows 10, but I use a dual boot system with my old Vista on one ssd and 10 on another ssd, I kept Vista for my old software etc. I am liking 10, and Edge is fast, but I still use chrome, I was dual booting between Vista and 7, the upgrade went well in my opinion (so far). I guess you have to move on, if you use a tablet or phone, 10 is easy, just do custom install checking the boxes you want, not what Microsoft would like.
Some of my old programs are running surprisingly, I like reading old comics, comic books and annuals CDisplayEX runs OK and this is quite old software. I haven't installed Line 6 Pod Farm or Ableton recording studio yet, I am still running that on Vista. Try 10, you can always go back...I stuck with Vista all these years, many disliked it and still do, so 10 is very much like 7 with pieces of 8, Oh ARrr...
