Reg - Thier bundled apps did not encourage end users to (as the ilk would put it) "to make choices." Reg, I sure wish you'd bother to learn what the f*k you're talking about before you open your mouth. NSCP provides hooks in the browser to allow people to user their own applications for other things. For example, when I click on the mail thingy, xemacs vm-mode* comes up for me to read and send mail. When I click on the news thingy, xemacs gnus mode comes up for me to read and post news. It could just as well be elm, pine, zmail, nn, xrn, rn, or anything else I choose. Netscape bundled some applications, but provides the means to use other things instead. If I click on an embedded URL in Win98, will I be seeing Netscape? No, I'll be seeing IE. Can I change that? Does MSFT provide a choice? No. -justinb
