    Microsoft didn't write Internet Explorer, they licensed it from Spyglass, they had a "Spyglass Mosaic browser" which was ultimately based on Mosaic.

    Ah, 2008. It didn't even reach the introduction of the iPhone user agent for a new mobile browsing experience, and then every mobile browser pretending to be an iPhone to get the same design...

    What was it before the iPhone? WAP?
