The charge is hidden in the price of Windows.
Then, can you tell me why IE is free to Mac users? No Windows there-- It's on my iBook running OS-X. IE was free before they decided to associate it with Windows. It's still free. Why don't you dial up MS and ask them how much they charge for IE? They'll tell you IE is FREE.

Because it's old! IE 5 is 1998's technology. There's a lot of obsolete stuff you can download for free.
Initially, IE for Mac was given away for free in order to prevent Netscape from gaining market share on the Mac. But development has been discontinued.
