More IE News

The fallout from the announcements that Microsoft will stop releasing stand-alone versions of IE for both Windows and Mac continues.

First, links back to our previous entries (1 and 2). Next, a sampling of the reactions:

Rentzsch.com: "I can assure you everyone loses here." And he proceeds to provide a detailed list of who loses and why.

What do I know talks about the affect of both the Win and Mac product announcements.

More from Zeldman: "Only after AOL took the money did Microsoft quietly let slip the news that it intends to kill its Mac and Windows browsers."

Tantek (the man who wrote IE5/Mac's rendering engine): "Today, the end of life of a product which I had contributed more hours and late nights (and mornings) than I can count was announced."
