8 years ago this week, Microsoft launched the war between the browsers (was there any other than netscape back then) with the release of the first version of the Internet Explorer .
guess who won the war?
but there are still some fighters left (at least on windows-platforms)
on os x microsoft stopped the development of IE, because they had to admit, that apple has a more advanced product: safari (mostly because they knew how to tie it into the OS :-)
