There was an IE for Unix. So there's some HPUX boxes that could have been running some version of IE. I have no idea what version it got to. I have never met anyone who used it.

Thanks for the info, didn't know that.

According to wikipedia, the project was discontinued as late as 2002. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_UNIX

Hey now, there's Microsoft Internet Explorer for Mac. Supports high-quality (broken) CSS1, y'know.

I stand corrected and humbly defer to your knowledge of horrible browsers ;)

Not IE 6. Mac stopped at 5.something.

Yup, but I remember IE 5.2 on Mac being a little better wrt. the w3c standards than IE 6 on windows, so I guess the version numbers weren't really comparable.

It was better in some ways, but IIRC the box model was the brokenest thing ever.

Don't worry! It's an industry-wide standard (apparently).

It's a good thing they require an internet connection. Because otherwise, you know... chaos.
