Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari

Posted by jamie on Saturday June 14, 2003 @01:05AM from the convenient-excuse-wanders-by dept.

aliebrah writes "CNet reports that Microsoft will not release any more major upgrades for Internet Explorer on MacOS. They cite competition from Safari as the reason for this decision, and say that Safari is a better browser for Macintosh systems. Ironically, they also say that they can't compete with Apple, because Apple has better access to the underlying operating system." Yeah, that must be rough. Today's SlashDotFunQuiz is to predict the order in which, impact when, and years until these other Mac products get the axe: Media Player, MSN Messenger, Office, Outlook, and Virtual PC.

I doubt it could be a lack of test macs... They can easily afford to buy more macs.
