In other words, they're flipping Mac users the bird.

Not really. Mac users haven't been using IE for years. It's an exercise in futility, as most sites don't support IE5 anyway.

It used to be a great product when released, with a better interface than it's pc counterpart.

Now, it's a POS that only the uninformed use. Painfully slow.

Well no right-minded mac users would have been using Internet Explorer anyway....
