Now that Apples run on Intel, surely there is one step less regarding instruction set. IE5 last ran on PPC and G3 / OS9 architecture. I have to use the 'Lite' version of Exchange OWA at work. I'd also like to see what is so great. At work they still use IE7 on the clamped down system and there are no plans to upgrade from XP either - its a good OS and solid. My Apple doesn't have the same restrictions. I would like the option of IE9 for MacOSX. Now that Apples run on Intel, surely there is one step less regarding instruction set.

I'm not a developer, my Windows install is plain vanilla, nothing more than I need. I'd be happy if Windows software worked most of the time. I'd be happier if well known third party stuff like Flash or Chrome worked in my Windows. I have software that runs in XP and 7 but not Vista. At work I use Windows XP, Vista, Seven, iOS and OSX Snow Leopard and when I can't get something done in Windows, it works in OSX. OSX reads FAT and NTFS. Recently I was trying to make a DVD for someone who had created it in Windows Movie Maker. It wouldn't work in Windows. I export the movie as an uncompressed AVI file (5GB - NTFS), drop it into iMovie and it burns a DVD. I'm not an Apple fanboy, I just want stuff to work. But I guess stuff generally works better in Windows because more people own Windows computers. If it was split between Windows, Linux and OSX evenly, the standards would be higher in all three. @Beany When MicroSoft update their OS to be able to read HFS+ disks natively, I might get interested.

People whose companies insist on using IE-only constructs for their internal web sites and other applications. The only thing I run in the Windows partition is these corporate apps. Everything else runs just fine in OS X. Who would want IE? People whose companies insist on using IE-only constructs for their internal web sites and other applications.

I put a little notice on the websites, that ie is not w3c-compliant and that's it. It is too much work to get things running on ie, while all other browsers are usually doing a fine job, with little exceptions. If you as a web developper are working along the usual html standards, I could not see any reason to have a hell of work to work on workarounds for a browser which isn't able to fit into the standards. Try to get a html3 Website running on an ie :) I as a web developper stopped testing ie for websites. I put a little notice on the websites, that ie is not w3c-compliant and that’s it.

So I stay with Firefox 6 and Chrome 12. Unfortunatly most government sites don't seem to know these apps exist and demand to work with IE or Firefox 3! I guess i'll have to go back to the prehistory ;) I see many adds to use the latest IE on Mac but download every link seems to be for Windows or for the IE5.6 on Mac.

Firefox is the best IMO on both platforms. People say MS should learn how to create a browser. Ditto with Apple. I’m not a fan of IE, but it’s better than the total crap Safari.

And when theres software for both platforms the Windows version is normally best, especially if it uses GPU acceleration as OSX only supports the very outdated OpenGL 1.3 and is missing other features that Windows supports.. Face it, Apple are just crap at making anything good for Windows. Atleast when MS do make software for OSX it actually works properly. MS Office is the most popular software on Mac.

However, the applications are no where nearly as efficient nor elegant as on a Mac. What else would you expect, it's like putting an emblem from a luxury car onto an old sh*t box.
