IE is not free but the cost is bundled with the os, it's a package deal. Anyone that buys the os with ie and opts to use a different browser paid for something they didn't want.

Maybe they should make the os include a spread sheet, database, word processor , desktop publisher, personal finace program , browser and charge $1000 for the os. Would everyone still beleive that the additions are free?

I've heard alot of talk about electronics being integrated and people (I'm not sure who, maybe you , may microsoft) comparing the microsoft browser/os to this. How does the price in electronics components over the last 10years compare to the price in os's (win95 vs 3.1). I don't know the answer to this so actual data and or links would be appreciated. You can buy computer chips that are twice as fast as ones were just a few years ago for probably half the price. Can you say the same for win95? is it twice as good (as 3.1) and half the cost?
