IE5 for Macs vs. IE6 for PCs...

Posted December 19, 2001 3:38 PM.

A recurrent theme at EMAP in recent weeks has been the battle between Cal and I about whether or not Mac Internet Explorer 5 is a good or a bad browser. Seriously. This is the kind of thing that keeps us busy all day. Cal maintains that a browser that doesn't conform to standards is a bad browser. I maintain that IE5 is not substantially worse than IE6 for PCs, and that although it has its problems, it has been lauded as one of the best browsers on the market.

Well now I'm prepared to throw the towel in. Who, in effect, gives a .... when IE 5.1 is out. I'll let you know what I think of it when I get a moment...
