Will Panther have IE by default?

MS has also stopped developing IE for Windows as a standalone 
application.  All new developments will be as part of an integrated 
browser feature in the next generation versions of Windows.  MS will 
not issue any new installers for IE beyond IE 6 SP1 for Windows - 
existing Windows (98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP) users will not get any 
newer version either!!

So Mac users aren't being treated any differently by comparison to 
users of any existing version of Windows, only by comparison to users 
of new (unavailable as yet) versions of Windows!
