“Actually, Internet Explorer was available for Mac OS X for a while, without much support for ActiveX. Nobody misses it today. “
I do. I miss the hell out of IE. Both me and my spouse have jobs and businesses that require the use of IE. I have VMware and parallels on all my Macs. It sucks. I really miss IE support for Macs - big time. And it is my bone to pick with AAPL.
AAPL didn't develop IE for Mac, and AAPL didn't pull the plug on it.
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.
