Bye Bye Internet Explorer
Mac users still browsing with Internet Explorer will need to consider moving to another browser press soon, as Microsoft plans to discontinue support for Internet Explorer by December 31st. The news is not a surprise to Mac users since Microsoft announced back two years ago that it was ending Mac support for Internet Explorer. In fact, Microsoft has not upgraded the Mac version of the IE browser in three years making IE 5 the most recent version available to Mac users while Windows users are running 6.0 and soon IE 7.0. I guess Opera and Firefox are looking pretty good for Mac users. Unfortunately, they won't be able to visit some sites that only work with IE, such as those that utilize ActiveX controls.

Who cares about not being able to use IE on Mac. As far as I am concerned, people who are using IE are either not heard about other browsers or ignorant about finding out the potential about other browsers.
“If you are smart enough to use Mac, then why blunt yourself by using IE?”
I apologise if the above comment has upset any readers.
I am not a fan of IE.
