MS Mac Browser: Fuhgeddaboutit
SEATTLE -- Microsoft says it will no longer develop versions of its popular Web-browsing software for Apple Computer's Macintosh system, saying Apple's own browsing software is a logical choice for Mac users. Except for two minor upgrades, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5 is the last version it will develop for the Mac, said Jessica Sommers, product manager for the software company's Macintosh Business Unit. [Wired]

Some people really blast the Internet Explorer browser on Macintosh and I'm not completely sure why. There have been some things that have frustrated me in regards to the way that it handles form submission, but that has been my only complaint. While its true that it has been a couple of years since the MBU has released a solid upgrade to Internet Explorer, browser development has slowed everywhere when compared to the speed at which it was moving in the mid-nineties. If anything, I've been very impressed that the browser remains one of the Macintosh's best with almost no changes over two years after its release. While I don't use it anymore, many people enjoy it and use it daily and I'm disappointed to see it go.
