News on Monday that Microsoft plans to discontinue support and development of its Internet Explorer Web browser on the Macintosh hardly came as a surprise.

The company telegraphed the move nearly two and a half years ago, citing competition from Apple Computer’s Safari browser as the primary reason for the decision.

Mac loyalists aren’t shedding any tears. Why? Many point to what they say is IE’s lack of standards conformity which make development and support more difficult.
