In '99 I bought an iMac just to run it (my first ever Mac). I planned to
buy dozens of iMacs to run it, handing them out as freebies to each of
our commercial partners in a large "Hang the expense, just get it
deployed easily to the computer-illiterate partners" extranet. Mac/IE
was so flakey that I scrapped that plan in favour of PCs, even with all
their maintenance and support problems.
A couple of years ago I worked on a large, complex Mac intranet project,
for an office of dedicated Macistas . Not intentionally, but I don't
think I even opened up a copy of Mac/IE - no-one had the slightest
interest in it any more - it had just ceased to exist as a serious
product.
A couple of months ago I had to swallow a 1/3rd project over-run, just
to get an interweb site working acceptably on Mac/IE (even though there
were no users).
Great goals maybe, unworkably broken product.
