| Jun. 2003 | Microsoft announces that development on new versions of Mac IE will be halted except for bug-fixing on 5.x. One of the stated reasons for this move is the claim that Microsoft won't be able to compete with the work that Apple is doing on its own Safari browser (first version final release also announced in June 2003), citing Safari's potential for having greater integration with the OS than Microsoft could achieve. | |
