America Online has dropped Internet Explorer from a test version of its software for Mac OS X, the latest sign that the Internet giant wants a rematch in the browser wars with Microsoft.
AOL for Mac OS X version 2 includes an integrated browser using technology created by Netscape Communications, according to a note to beta testers describing the software's features, which was obtained Thursday by CNET News.com. In addition, the upgrade includes a new "aquafied" look "in the spirit" of OS X's liquid-like user interface, as well as instant messaging and Buddy List support for chatting with Mac.com users, among other things, the note said.
