I understand that it says "most popular" but as Microsoft Edge has been around for a while now and Internet Explorer 11 came out in 2013, I think it should be okay to replace it in the introduction? Especially as that appears to be the IE9 logo.

Windows 7 is still the most popular OS (45% of desktops) and will be supported until 2020 by Microsoft. The newest version of IE that can be installed on 7 is IE11. Windows Vista is still supported by Microsoft until 2017. The newest version of IE it can run is IE9. However since it's got less than a year left in it's life and there are less than 5% desktops with it, I think it's safe to ignore it.

Here is IE11's logo:

And the vector version of it and Edge's logo can be seen here:

I should note that although planned support for Windows 7 ends in 2020, it will likely get an extension due to the number or corporations that use it that are willing to pay Microsoft to continue supporting it. This happened with XP and gave it an additional 5 years of life. 7 will probably be around until at least 2022. Which means IE11 will be around for a while.
