Does anyone know when Microsoft plans on updating Internet Explorer? I just looked in the archives and Appleinsider reported on IE 5.5 in June 2000. It's been 2 years since there has been any update, which seems like a long time. Does anyone else agree?

<strong>I wish they would--all the other browsers I have tried on OSX are dog slow--OmniWeb (whihc is great but just too slow--plus aqua ), iCab and Netscape.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Some browsers must be a lot slower on some systems than others. I think that the latest sneaky peek of Omni Web 4.1 is lightning fast. IE is almost as fast. It depends on the site. For example Apple's web site renders noticeably faster than OW. I'm using a Pismo with 1 Gig of Ram. and cable modem on Airport.
IE 5.1 might soon be the Communicator 4.5 of Mac OS X.. old, klunky, and used only by people who don't know any better.

Well, considering that IE5 is the worst browser out there for OS X, that's hardly surprising...

Most of Mac IE5's major bugs, etc are listed as "fatal"
which, according to my friend, means they will _never_ be fixed.
Doesn't sound like they have much plan to do anything worthwhile if they are even gonna release a new version . . .
maybe it'll have new colors!
