I absolutely loved having that on HP-UX. Made cross-browser testing back then a smidge easier, even though the Windows version of IE5 still behaved/rendered differently.

But at least we had IE5 for Win, Mac, and Unix we could certify sites against.

@reiddragon @jbz It's real, there were releases for HP-UX and Solaris. Somebody sent me screenshots of it when I was setting up a web page for GIMP for Windows.

@reiddragon @jbz It is real but IIRC comes with a java-based IRC client instead of Microsoft Comic Chat.
