MS INTERNET EXPLORER AND THE MAC

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for MS Internet Explorer, the evidence suggests that the Mac is still second class at Microsoft. Most obviously, Internet Explorer 3.0 has been in public beta for over a month now on the Windows side, with nary a peep from the Mac side.
Netscape, by contrast, simultaneously releases betas of Netscape 3.0 to both platforms. This fact, along with Netscape's much greater page rendering speed, is why I continue to use Netscape.
Additionally, there is the famous MS contempt for the Mac platform by including the flying Windows logo in MSIE 2.0. To their credit, MS seems to have realized that error and is running a contest to design a more approproate logo.
Thank you for your time.
-Mike
