Microsoft drops IE for Mac

On June 13, 2003, Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer for Mac would undergo no further development. Microsoft announced that official support for IE/Mac will cease on December 31, 2005.

When Apple released Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger”, Internet Explorer for Mac is no longer included. However, you can still download a copy of the IE software from Mactopia.

I don’t use Internet Explorer as my browser, and I don’t recommend people to use it. Unfortunately, there are some sites that required me to use IE in order to access them.

I found out from digg that Microsoft will drop IE for Mac completely. That means, as of January 31st, 2006, IE for Mac will no longer be available from Mactopia.

Today, I’m going to send an e-mail to the web developer team of the company that required me to use Internet Explorer to login into their site the importance of designing web with web standards.

Hopefully they will listen so I can use Safari or Mozilla Firefox to login into the webpage.
