Where to Find It - Microsoft has made the first beta Internet Explorer 2.0 available on their Web site. Well, last week Microsoft released a public beta of Internet Explorer for Macintosh and proved it can still surprise the Mac community.

Of course, the Macintosh world barely blinked at this news. Late last year, Microsoft announced plans to bring Internet Explorer to the Macintosh. Microsoft was just another company jumping on the Internet bandwagon: what did another Mosaic-derived browser for Windows matter? "Internet Explorer" was dubbed "Internet Exploiter," and that was that. When Microsoft became a licensee of NCSA Mosaic and later shipped a Web browser for Windows called Internet Explorer, the Macintosh world didn't even blink.
