I would accept that statement about WinIE. And probably add a free
extra portion of raspberries.
Although I don't happen to use Macs, I'm aware that when it was
introduced and being supported, MacIE was a good, standards-oriented,
CSS-ish-supporting browser for the Mac, which stood up well against
the then-current opposition on any platform.
Time has moved on, and MacIE has not; so, nowadays it's quite a
disappointment as measured against other *current* browsers. But
tossing it casually into the same pot as the browser-like operating
system component for Windows would be a big mistake, and would tend to
discredit anything else which the contributor was trying to say.
