I don’t use a mac much so my exposure is minimal but can I safely presume that IE on the Mac is dead?

I know that Microsoft isn’t developing it any further and that Firefox, Safari (Opera and Camino) all run on Mac (and from my stats they are most used, in that order)…

So the question is: Is it dead? and if so, when did it die?

I still see CSS templates with Mac IE hacks in place… but I’m thinking it is time to strip the dead weight. Am I right?

PS For anyone hosting a large commercial site, I’d be interested in the % of customers using Mac IE. (Customers being users that actually buy something, not just web developers ping’ing amazon.com to see what it looks like)

  1. It’s dead. I just pulled up this months report and found 9 hits out of 3.5 million (about 0.0000257%).

    If you need a time-of-death, I would say it was in 2006 when Microsoft released a statement urging users to ‘migrate to more recent web browsing technologies such as Apple’s Safari.’
