Apple Argued Safari Is Three Different Browsers to Avoid Regulation::Apple recently claimed that Safari is three different browsers in effort to avoid regulation in the European Union (via The Register). The claim…
Of course they did. Microsoft tried this in the 90’s with Internet Explorer, Outlook, and Explorer. Sure, it does three different things, but it’s the SAME THING.
Those are actually different things and always have been. I don’t know what point you think you’re making.
I think the reference was to IE4 for Windows 95 and 98, which did in fact run the desktop and file manager functions with IE to enable web functionality. You could type a URL into the file manager path bar and use it as a web browser or use a web page as your desktop, IIRC.
