HPC:Factor Microsoft Internet Explorer Distributions

HPC Factor offers recognises that many Handheld PC users rely on legacy operating systems such as Windows 95 to synchronise with their Handheld PC. For the benefit of the Handheld PC community we provide a downloads of Microsoft Internet Explorer legally to users.

HPC Factor is a registered distributor of Microsoft Internet Explorer and as such is able to distribute via our web site Microsoft's browser technology to users. Please be aware that some of the the versions on offer here are not the latest available from the Microsoft web site. These downloads offer owners of legacy operating systems the chance to upgrade their computer to support the highest level of browser technology possible.

These downloads are designed for the host version of Windows, and will not run on Windows CE itself. Many require an existing service pack level on the Operating System to allow the installation to proceed.

The distributions contain links to resources of interest to the Handheld PC Community. Updates to this list will be made available from HPC:Factor as an automated install in the future.
