Hi Andy. Internet Explorer has incomplete support for multiple dynamic pseudo selectors like :hover and :active (which is not supported at all). Therefore, IE will onyl recognize the last one in the chain. For example, you apply :link:hover and :visited:hover, but IE only only sees :hover on both, so whichever one comes last in the coding is the one that Internet Explorer will apply. I believe this is true for both PC and Mac environments. To my knowledge, there is no known CSS based work-around.
