Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for the Mac is dead. Zeldman writes more about it. It’s also interesting to note that the standalone IE browser on Windows machines is no more. The current version will stagnate until 2005 when Microsoft releases the next version of their operating system. If only Windows users would migrate to standards compliant browsers like Mozillaor Firebird over the next two years perhaps Microsoft will get the point push the integrated browser towards standards compliance.

I stopped using IE for Mac OSX well over a year ago. While it sometimes rendered CSS properly it’s not been as respectful of standards or as speedy as Mozilla’s Camino. For the past five months I’ve been using Apple’s Safari.
