What is Macintosh Explorer?

Macintosh Explorer, developped by Rage Software, a Canadian, Toronto based software company, launched in 1999 and quickly made fans who were used to a Windows-like Explorer interface. The software kept on improving almost every other year until it finally was released as freeware in 2010. As of writing this, Rage Software still displays the serial number on their website and invite users to enjoy the product for free: 91153-5358-FSS-3938-10812-40 (for version 4.3 or above)
