Whoa.
Internet Exploder was constantly evolving and multi-platform.
Did you forget IE ran on PPC Macs, X86 Macs, Windows, and CP/M?
IE updated... just slower than Netscape.
- jchw 9y agoIE ran on... CP/M? What CP/M are you talking about?
- echeese 9y agoThey probably meant Windows CE or Pocket PC (P/PC)
- bobthedino 9y agoThere was even briefly a version of IE for HP-UX and Solaris.
- tambourine_man 9y agoIE6 was not updated for 6 years. On Windows. On the Mac it went as far as version 5 only. And never made it to x86 (unless you count Rosetta) So, through the dark ages, IE was very much frozen and Windows only, for all intends and purposes.
- tapoxi 9y agoInternet Explorer wasn't really multi-platform. The Mac version used a different rendering engine (Tasman as opposed to Trident) and it of course didn't have support for ActiveX extensions. For a long time being a 90s Mac user sucked as different websites required you to use IE on a Windows PC.
- bzbarsky 9y agoIE ran on Sparc/Solaris too, at least as of IE5. I don't think they ever ported IE6 there.
