Microsofts move to end IE for Mac

Big suprize considering they can get mor epeople to swith the wintel machines because they will get frustrated with IE only web pages. I'm seeing more and more pages lately that don't support FireFox and many are from Yahoo of all companies. They refuse to adapt launch to F.F. and Maps2 beta won't work in 1.5 release. The company that is taking notice is Google. They are becoming very opensource freindly. I think the days of the trendiness of the Mac laptops jsut ended without explorer. It will make the web expeirence miserable for users. What I want to know is iTunes supported with the Safari browser? If not I think we can see MS is back up to old dirty tricks again.

Some interesting things are happening

Yahoo now has gotten in on the maps idea generated by Google Earth. I also see there have been more exploits found for the problematic internet explorer. Simply more reason to change to Firefox. There have also been some changes in the industry with the legal snafu AOL is facing for overbilling its customers. No wonder Yahoo wouldn't touch them. Well other than that there is not too much of interest in the technology arena. I did just try and download the latest release of Project Looking Glass from Sourceforge. Unfortuantley it is for Linux only more specificly Slackware Linux. I love Linux but i would like to be able to run Looking Glass on a WIndows machine from a Live CD so that I could demonstrate it to other people.
