<If IE is integrated, that would mean one could not run without the other. IE could not run without Windows. Then how can there be a MAC version?

And why is the MAC version only 5 megs but the windows is 40 megs?>

Why are you asking silly questions? IE for Mac and IE for Windows are two different products. That is why there is such a difference in heft? The DLL's are part of the Windows OS, where the Mac incarnation does not have such attributes. If you were a true tech head you would know this. I am a lay person and this is painfully obvious.

<Not inventing the WAN browsing but buying the competitor's alpha release and merging it with the OS is innovative?>

Yes it is. You now have a new product that does things that no other product does.

<But I can tell you probably think Windows is an operation system. It is not.>

Prove it! I run Windows NT 4.0 sp3 with IIS 4.0, tell me how and why it is not a real OS.
