RIP Internet Explorer

Zeldman: “The rumors flew all day, but we held off writing about this until we had it from an unimpeachable source. Jimmy Grewal is a key member of the Mac Internet Explorer team and a stand-up guy. He confirms that IE5/Mac is dead.”

Dave Winer: “The Internet had made all [of Bill Gate’s] complex technology irrelevant. He had been routed around. It was cool! It took him ten years to erase the Web as a threat. It’s done now. He owns it, it’s in the trunk (I know you don’t like to hear this) it’s locked, and they’re driving it off a cliff into the ocean.”
