YAY! Go away, we don't need anything from Microsoft!
Your OS and Browser suck!
yeah...real thought provocing comment there.
anywho. Microsoft is pushing users to Apple's Sahari. hahaha Microsoft has more than 35 percent share in Apple . What a hoot. So basically Microsoft has a vested intrest in seeing users switch to Safari.
and what was that pot shot at FF in the last paragraph? pretty low blow.
Thank God. The faster IE Mac dies, the better. Now that that's gone, we've got standards compliance on at least that platform. Let's see how IE7 performs on the PC.
I think that last paragraph was less a potshot at Firefox, and more a statement on the poor state of those UK websites.
"anywho. Microsoft is pushing users to Apple's Sahari. hahaha Microsoft has more than 35 percent share in Apple . What a hoot. So basically Microsoft has a vested intrest in seeing users switch to Safari."
no they don't. microsoft bought $150 million worth of stock about a decade ago for reasons that are still shady. it was non-voting stock and has been completely sold off by microsoft at a considerable profit.
back on topic... this doesn't mean much, there's still a significant number of mac users on OS 9<. until there's a viable alternative or all the stragglers move to X IE 5 is with us for a bit longer.

Just a Mac hater, they have been brainwashed to hate all things Mac. They don't know why, they just do. I know, I used to be one of them. Now I hate Windows.... I love Macs... Glad I opened my eyes.
Actually give one a week of use under OS X, learn how they work and you too would switch.
