IE/Mac dead
As everyone who cares has already heard, Microsoft has announced the death of Internet Explorer for Macintosh.
I've not used IE/Mac in a while (first I moved to Chimera/Camino, then Safari), but I think the "ho hum" responses a lot of people are having a little unfair.
First, competition is a good thing; it leads to innovation and experimentation, and the best ideas can then be used by everybody. Second, IE/Mac is (and I get funny looks from people who know me every time I say this) a damn fine browser.
Eric Meyer is mourning too, and points out some of the major advances IE/Mac brought to the table. Now, nearly all of us (well, those of us who aren't using IE/Win, at least) are benefiting from these ideas in Mozilla proper, Safari, and the Mozilla-based browsers like Camino, Firebird, and galeon.
