It's an interesting post, but it still leaves many things uncertain. While
it's probably smart of Microsoft not to announce future plans more
specifically, I can't say it left me with a great deal of enthusiasm or
hope that Internet Explorer for the Macintosh has a very bright future.
While IE/Mac is a great piece of software in many ways, I see it as
promising but very unfinished (especially with regard to XML), though
perhaps a bit ahead of its Windows cousin. WebTV, while desperately in
need of the kinds of standards-compliance work that IE5/Mac has just
received, still seems (from this outsider's point of view) like a major
step down to a project of little significance.
Oh well. I'll keep watching this one closely. Microsoft's priorities and
mine diverged a long while ago, it seems.
