Internet Explorer wasn't really multi-platform. The Mac version used a different rendering engine (Tasman as opposed to Trident) and it of course didn't have support for ActiveX extensions.
For a long time being a 90s Mac user sucked as different websites required you to use IE on a Windows PC.

IE6 was not updated for 6 years. On Windows.
On the Mac it went as far as version 5 only. And never made it to x86 (unless you count Rosetta)
So, through the dark ages, IE was very much frozen and Windows only, for all intends and purposes.
IE ran on... CP/M? What CP/M are you talking about?
They probably meant Windows CE or Pocket PC (P/PC)

There was even briefly a version of IE for HP-UX and Solaris.
Internet Exploder was constantly evolving and multi-platform.
Did you forget IE ran on PPC Macs, X86 Macs, Windows, and CP/M?
IE updated... just slower than Netscape.
