>the real reason ie 4 was yanked...

I think you're reaching with that one.

IE4 was delayed because they are merging some of the IE5 technologies. In fact, the original IE4 would have been complete last month.

>let the copying begin.

Both companies are copying ideas from each other. I probably shouldn't go into detail, though.

Actually, it's more like both companies are having similar ideas. Both companies know how to make their software more functional, user-friendly, slick, etc. It isn't that anyone is necessarily coping from the other....you just both have similar, sensible, common-sense, ideas.
