This was originally sent to me, but I think it's worth mentioning on the list.

One word: ActiveX.

There is a particular web-based application I run that will run in
nothing but Internet Explorer on Windows. I know it uses ActiveX
compoents. It's not an "optional" web application, either, it's a
critical tool I have no choice but to use it.

My expectation is that CX Mac should support IE at least as well as CX
Linux. Right now, it doesn't, and I consider that a problem.
