Microsoft is talking about dropping Internet Explorer on the Macintosh platform. They are citing Safari as the excuse, but the development is most likely part of a move to do away with IE altogether as a standalone application and to roll it into the next version of Windows (aka Longhorn, thereby compelling people to upgrade to new versions of Windows in order to gain access to patches to the browser. Should go down well with the hardware manufacturers (given that buying a new computer is probably the easiest way to upgrade an MS operating system).
