I partially view this as an indirect victory for KHTML.

Good riddance. At least 25 million people will cease to use that rubbish (eventually).

Isn't this usually their job?

good riddence.  When was the last time any of us actually used IE?

Also, they claim that there will no longer be standalone versions of IE for windows.  I thought that ever since 98 they were all integrated like we all hated.

Too bad Apple doesn't write a decent browser for 9.  I have noticed IE is a major cause for computer crashes. At my school, each time I look in the trash, I see lots of IE rescue files. And people say that Macs are unstable. Go figure.

Nice to see that Microsoft figured out what was making OS X a pain to use for a lot of people and fixed it!

I get sick of whenever I accidentally launch IE and have it freeze up on me, although a trip to Force Quit... always solves the problem for me. It's like it's a demo for how resistant the OS is to kill -9.

Kinda wrong. Most Mac users use IE because it's the one that came with the OS. Why download a browser if you already have one?

I think Apple wants to make Safari their standard browser and likely not include IE at all.

No. They stopped producing the standalone version of MSIE. Now it's integrated in the system. Oh, joy.   :rolleyes:

I thought it was always integrated into the system (since windows 98)?

Yeah. That's why they could port it to Mac and Solaris.
