“The old version of IE for Mac apparently still works on the latest version of Mac OS X - but since it was designed for PowerPC processors, it must run with Rosetta emulation on Intel-based Macs.”
Completely misses the point and states the obvious. Still the biggest problem for AAPL is IE specific websites that have kept up with IE releases.
My point is that IE6/7 is necesary tool for many people to do their jobs and one reason users should be careful before committing to Macs. I know, I know you can run Windows in a VMs and I do, but that is somewhat difficult for some people. Those that Macs are specifically, otherwise perfect for.
AAPL needs to put some more resources on this.
Unfortunately, there is not much that Apple can do about it beyond enabling Windows to run on Macs. ActiveX will not be supported on Mac OS X and Safari.
