Internet Explorer 1.0 was a web browser debuted from Microsoft on August 16, 1995. It was a reworked version of Spyglass Mosaic which Microsoft had licensed, like many other companies initiating browser development, from Spyglass Inc. It came with Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 and OEM release of Windows 95. It was installed as part of the Internet Jumpstart Kit in Plus!.[1] The Internet Explorer team began with about half a dozen people in early development.[2] [3] Internet Explorer 1.5 was released several months later for Windows NT and added support for basic table rendering.

Although not included, this software can also be installed on the original release of Windows 95.
