MS ends MSIE on OSX

ActiveX is not the only problem IE has. Support for CSS1, CSS2, and even XML has been dodgy in IE since it was first released. And the Mac version of IE has always been somewhat different than the Windows version, with the same page rendering differently on either platform.
So that's 3 major OS classes (OSX, Linux, BSD) that are IE free. Who is next?

Yeah, I hope IE7 spells the end for IE. :p
skyman8081:
Wasn't IE for the Mac made by a completely different team at MS, and was actually standards-compliant with a lot of things, Like CSS1, HTML4, PNG1, and a few others?

It only had about 80% marketshare on the Mac since Netscape died...
Safari truly murdered it, and Firefox finished the job off.

Safari didn't need any help pwnzorzing IE.
And technically, OSX is part of the BSD family.
