Numerous IBM documents shown in Mr. Howards deposition demonstrate that IBM recognized that consumers want Internet browsing integrated into their operating system: (Deposition Exhibit 3 - OS/2 and Network Computing) - "Network connectivity is not new in OS/2 -- a large suite of Internet tools have been integrated into the OS/2 Warp family of products, including Internet browsers, TCP/IP for OS/2, telnet, FTP tools, 3270 and 5250 emulators, and many other networking functions. These are not add-ons to the operating system, but are fully integrated." (p. 50) (IBM exhibit 4) - "OS/2 has also integrated one of the best TCP/IP stacks available."
