— Nicholas Shanks, 1 February 2006.Whether you're searching for information, tracking online auctions, or browsing Web pages, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS 8.1 to 9.2.2 makes it easy to make the most of the Web. With Mac-first innovations — such as Internet Scrapbook, which lets you collect pictures, receipts, and more — Internet Explorer makes the Web easy and fun. And perhaps best of all, it's free!
This latest version — MSIE 5.1.7 — resolves security vulnerabilities in previous versions of Internet Explorer 5.
Note: Internet Explorer 5.1.7 for Mac OS 8.1 to 9.2.2 is not compatible with Mac OS X. If you use Mac OS X, you can download and install Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac OS X.
Released: 25 September 2002

When downloading files from Mactopia, you might be given a choice of two different file formats, MacBinary (.bin) or BinHex (.hqx).
What's the difference between these two file formats? A .bin file is typically smaller than an .hqx file, but is less compatible with earlier Macintosh systems, such as Mac OS 7.0, 8.0, and 8.5. An .hqx file is typically larger, but is more compatible with earlier systems.
Note: Microsoft does not support third-party download files or software, including, but not limited to, file compression and decompression software.
