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...

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