Apple Details CSS Bugs in Internet Explorer for Mac

    Now, correct me if I am wrong, cause, hey, I probably am, but does this not seem like just one more subtle insult from Apple to Microsoft? Well-deserved, I might add, but why all these recent jabs?

    The switch ads are the obvious, but I find this, and the fact that MS's recent fake switch ad made it to Apple's Hot News page quite interesting from a company that publically expressed all is well between them and MS.

    Besides, When you're trying to convince MS users that they can use Mac versions of programs they are used to, why point out serious flaws in one of the biggies??

    Unless, of course... you have something better you're planning to push.... (Which I'm not saying must be the oft-rumored iBrowse. Could just be Mozilla)

      I don't think so. There are some subtle digs, but generally it's a very honest article, it praises the good things and discusses the bad things.

      Stuff like this:
      "In general, the Mac version of Explorer is more strict in its standards compliance and supports more of the standards, while the Windows version supports more Microsoft proprietary styles and JScript methods"
