thanks to everyone for the information, it was an
interesting read and the screen caps of longhorn remind me
very heavily of QNX (a great Canadian company ;-)

Sean,

My understanding of it: MS is saying they're planning on 'embedding' the
browser into the next operating system "Longhorn" available sometime in
2005-6 and they're not doing any major upgrades to IE until that time when
of course it will be named something else.

(personal opinion) I think it's amazing MS got away from the Justice Dept so
easily (nice to have so many Congressmen in your pocket) -- this 'embedded
browser' was part of what they were originally being sued for. I have to
say, this and the SCO business really show MS for what a diabolical company
it really is. I personally hope it backfires on them, and Mozilla and other
browsers end up being de facto.

There are literally dozens of URLs. I suggest anyone interested go to Google News and 
search on Internet Explorer. You'll see a lot of recent stories about their 
discontinuation of IE for the Mac, but scroll down a bit and you'll see that they've 
also announced that they will no longer have a separate IE product for Windows, 
either. They plan to integrate the capability into their next version of the Windows 
OS, codenamed Longhorn.

How about putting the URLs onlist?  This is pretty big news for those 
of us who use IE.
