hey robert, did you miss the press release from microsoft that said ie for both mac and pc will no longer be supported or developed as stand alone applications?
ie will not be around for ever, and to the dismay of so many ms fanboys, embeded browsers are not the best idea.
we'll see how supportive everyone is when non of their pretty fluff flash projects work right because the browser and the os are intergrated.
and, if a ceo said that, he's an idiot. anyone that develops purely for one web browser is not a good developer.
not everyone uses ie, nor windows. i write this to you currently from a linux notebook running fluxbox wm and mozilla 1.x
people need to wise up. open-source isn't some hippy movement anymore. with the poor choices ms is making by disbanding their browser development they are slitting their own throats slowly as a leader in web technology.
longhorn will piss a lot of people off, especially businesses and ogranizations (most of which already protest ms's licensing schemes).
