In a statement to customers and press, Microsoft is advising customers to "access MSN services and features with their preferred browser and by setting up a My MSN page as a portal to their favorite online destinations." Customers will still be able to use the MSN Messenger service but will be unable to use MSN Explorer for Mac OS X. It's not clear what prompted this action but it's widely thought that the MSN Service isn't that popular on the Mac platform. For months users have been protesting against MSN for their lack of support for MSN software on Mac OS X. This latest move will likely be a knock to MSN software and support for the Mac and may lead to further announcements.

It also has updated standards support (not to the level of KHTML or Gecko, mind you).

They were right, it was and IE 4.5 Mac before it, but now that award goes to Firefox IMO as of 1.5. I remember when it came out and a PC magazine called it the best browser on any platform.
