Microsoft Drops Support for Mac IE

A teaser:

Microsoft has announced it will officially end support for the Mac version of the Internet Get Linux or Windows Managed Hosting Services with Industry Leading Fanatical Support. Explorer (IE) browser at the end of the year.

The move means that Microsoft will not issue any new security Free Trial: Eliminate IM compliance and security threats with policy and enforcement. updates or patches for the software View Demo: IBM Workplace Services Express. Improves collaboration. Increases productivity. and will likely send the relatively small number of Mac IE users to alternatives, such as Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) Latest News about Apple own Safari, or the open-source browsers Mozilla Latest News about Mozilla Foundation Firefox and Opera, when the support ends on Dec. 31. Microsoft will also stop offering downloads of the software at the end of January.

After embracing the Apple platform with its Mac-friendly browser version, Microsoft has been moving away from the market since mid-2003, when it announced it would stop releasing new versions of the software and would phase out all support. [/teaser]

I hear Safari is better than IE for Mac users, is that true?

Software Notebook: Microsoft, Mozilla: A symbol of cooperation?

A teaser:

Granted, it's not exactly the Dayton Peace Accords. But Microsoft's Internet Explorer group and the rival Firefox browser team surprised the technology world last week with a small token of cooperation.

To be precise, it was a tiny orange icon. Microsoft worked out an arrangement to use the same symbol that Firefox does to alert people when a Web page makes extra streams of information available for subscription.

The industry has seen bigger deals, to put it mildly. In fact, describing it as a deal might be a stretch. It was an informal agreement, with no money changing hands, said Sean Lyndersay, lead program manager on Microsoft's Internet Explorer team.

But the mere idea that the two camps were talking caused a stir -- with some analysts wondering whether they might be capable of reaching consensus on more weighty matters, such as standards for the way Web pages are made and displayed. [/teaser]

Personally I wish Microsoft would get lost. I worry they may try to take over Mozilla.

We all know that IE is full of holes, but just because you use Firefox or Opera doesn't mean your safe.
