Death to IE on Mac! Long live Safari!
All support for the
Macintosh version of Internet Explorer will cease on December 31, 2005 and all official distribution of the browser
will cease on January 31, 2006. In other words, IE is finally dying. You won't be able to download it from Microsoft
anymore. Instead they will recommend that you use Safari or Firefox.On a broader note, this means that fewer sites can justify having IE only versions of their sites. They cannot say, "Well, get IE for Mac and it should work." No. Start clean-coding your sites for Firefox and Safari compatibility or lose 6 percent (and growing) of your customers.

My company's web site only works on a Macintosh using IE. Even then the text a links, then even IE 5 for Mac don't work. I mentioned it to the IT department and was told that they only support IE for PC's. I wish that Apple would make Safari work with all websites. The true greatness of the web is that it is not platform dependent.
