  Microsoft: Internet Explorer development ongoing
Time: 16:40 EST/21:40 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Late last week in an online article The OmniGroup President, William Shipley (makers of OmniWeb for Mac OS X) opined that Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) would eventually stop development of Internet Explorer for the Macintosh. "Once they've killed off the competition in the Mac market, their best move is to start ignoring or wounding IE for the Mac, so that Mac users have a reason to switch to Windows," Shipley said. "Remember, Microsoft is in the business of selling Windows," he added. "That's what they do. Right now, they're writing free system software for Apple. In fact, it's less than free; they paid a large sum to force Apple to make IE the browser of choice for the last five years. Why would they do this? To kill Netscape. What happens when Netscape is dead? They bail."
