 INTERNET EXPLORER FOR MAC NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

In June 2003, the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit announced that Internet Explorer for Mac would undergo no further development, and support would cease in 2005. In accordance with published support lifecycle policies, Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.

Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft. It is recommended that Macintosh users migrate to more recent web browsing technologies such as Apple's Safari.

You must have transfered it from your old Mac via firewire during install... And take a look at your Activity Monitor I'll bet it is a PowerPC process using Rosetta...


I was wrong in saying "can't" I should have said: Any modern Mac that attempts to run IE will see a performance hit and won't ever see a universal binary.

The IE is dead, long live FireFox!

Unfortunately not. I have a top of the line iMac duo core and IE5 still runs on it. Darn them!
Any "modern" Mac user can't use IE anymore...  ;)

Apple fixed that bug on the intel based hardware... Via their new universal binaries. MS won't / hasn't made a version of IE for the intel based hardware...

Be warned that quite a number of Mac users are some sort of morons who are still using Internet Explorer. Why? I have no idea since Safari, Firefox, and Opera all work much better.
The complaint was that the home page was garbled. The footer text was
overlaying the heroshot, that kind of thing.


I made some changes so hopefully that took care of it.

Thanks

No problems sticking out?  What was the complaint?
