Not that I'm a Microsoft fan or anything, but I think you are 
misinterpreting the ad...I think their message is that
you'll _want_ to un-install Netscape when you try IE, not that "we have an
un-install and Netscape doesn't".  I doubt IE for the Mac has an
uninstall; like you pointed out, it just isn't an issue on the Mac.
