I was bored at work and looked in the About box for IE 6. I was curious when I saw: (IE 6.0.2800.x)

Unix version contains software licensed from Mainsoft Corporation. Copyright (c) 1998-1999 Mainsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Mainsoft is a trademark of Mainsoft Corporation.
Anyone heard of M$ doing anything for Unix?

Internet Explorer for UNIX was released a while back, but I think 4 was the last publicly released version.

I think it may have actually gotten as far as 5.0, but either way Microsoft doesn't make it anymore.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Yeah, it was Solaris/SPARC-only. Part of the "kill Netscape" campaign.
