Microsoft’s Mac Business Unit has updated Internet Explorer for the Mac to version 5.1.7. The latest version of the Web browser resolves security vulnerabilities in previous versions of Internet Explorer 5.
This version of IE is for Mac OS 8.1 – 9.2.2 and requires QuickTime 3.0 or later. It’s a 5.4MB download.
The MacBU announced June 13 plans to end development of Internet Explorer for Macintosh. While support for the product has not ended, updates including this one will provide maintenance and security changes only, and no new features will be introduced. The MacBU said it will concentrate on other Mac products such as the upcoming version of Office.
