@jbz bec_grin ie

I absolutely loved having that on HP-UX. Made cross-browser testing back then a smidge easier, even though the Windows version of IE5 still behaved/rendered differently.

But at least we had IE5 for Win, Mac, and Unix we could certify sites against.

@nazokiyoubinbou @jbz The late 90s were a different time.

IE5 had releases on Mac OS and UNIX (Solaris (SPARC) and HP-UX (PA-RISC)). It wasn't too shabby either. Most of us at the time still preferred Netscape, but IE5 for Unix was great for cross-platform testing/direct comparison.

It was also from the era where Microsoft supported running Windows on non-Intel architectures, such as Alpha, MIPS, SPARC, and PowerPC… Alpha support made it to Windows NT 5 beta 2 before it was dropped when renamed to Win2k, which also added Itanium (IA-64) support.
