    The first web browser ever created was Netscape Navigator. Internet Explorer was a bad copy of that.

    Someone get the names of those people who booed. Kick their arses. IE for Mac kicked the hell out of Netscape Navigator AT THE TIME. And the investment was non-voting shares. If they had waited 60 or so seconds, … jeez, Wayne.

    1st Web Browser ever created?????? Huh?? What universe do you live in?

  5. burakmorali Says:

    Luck I suppose. Pretty much every PC user I ever talked to who uses explorer agrees with me, IE is shit. Go get Chrome or Firefox, you’ll see the diffrence.

    How come I haven’t go any of those problems?

  7. burakmorali Says:

    It’s an heavy application, it opens and closes slowly. It crashes all the time and is very unstable. When I switched to Chrome, I couldn’t believe the difference. I now use Safari (I got myself a Mac), and I just love how it never fucks up, no matter what.

    they are like children.

  9. exenter2 Says:

    Opera and Firefox is still better.

  10. craigstephenfoulon Says:

    Safari is the best web browser ever created. Its simple, to the point without all the unnecessary bells and whistles that come with explorer.

  11. Microsoftultimatefan Says:

    I don’t see how bad Internet Explorer is. It does everything I need it to do, and it’s the first web browser ever created. What more features can a web browser have. I think that Internet Explorer has alot of un-nessecary features. Internet Explorer is alot better than any web browsers I created. = \

    1997, best year ever

  13. AnnernWithTheMacbook Says:

    Yeah, but compared to the newest Word’s, it’s not that good…. :)

  14. christo930 Says:

    Office 98 isn’t bad… I only recently upgraded to my office mac to 2004.

  15. christo930 Says:

    That was probably the single best stock investment MS ever made. What was Apple stock back then a few dollars a share? I know they were very close to bankruptcy. It has split a few times and is worth over 200 a share with a market cap of 180b, 2nd only to MS in the tech industry. What a turnaround.

  16. kockgunner Says:

    Haha I was laughing geekily at that. Funny how Steve said “we believe in choice,” which is not really the case with the App store.

    Poor Bill Gates in this video.

  17. junglemage666 Says:

    actually anytime Apple (MAC) mentions “PC” they 100% mean Microsoft Windows, in all their advertisements. So ya its Apple vs Microsoft

  18. AnnernWithTheMacbook Says:

    Weird thinking back to the Word-version they’re talking about. Today it sucks and looks like shit… :)

  19. spunker88 Says:

    I love how they booed at IE.

  20. darthirakli Says:

    it’s not even mac vs ps, it’s OS X vs Windows

  21. damanidancer Says:

    its mac vs pc not apple vs microsoft ;)

  22. anupam132000 Says:

    you’re so so right!!!!!

  23. holygolfer Says:

    LISTEN TO HOW STEVE GOES, “IF WE SCREW UP, ITS OUR FAULT NO ONE ELSES.” america needs to start taking responsibility for their own actions. and yes i know this has nothing to do with computers or this presentation. if you notice all the failures say, “its not my fault.”

    Anyone in their right mind would boo IE.
