Reg -
First of all, watch your mouth when you address me.
Sorry, I just get a little aggravated when people start spouting about things they know little about.
Second of all, you need the education, not I. MSFT provides the same hooks that NSCP does.
Cmon, Reg. You were talking about bundling features. I pointed out that Netscape doesn't force you to use their mail or news clients, whereas IE does. Now you want to talk about standards compliance? Typical Reg behaviour - change the topic when you know you're wrong.
MSFT also supports nearly all 3.0 html features, proprietary or not. NSCP supports only NSCP approved features.
No, Reg. MSFT supports their propietary extensions to defined standards in an attempt to subvert those standards. We saw it with C, we saw it with C++, we saw it with Java, and now we're seeing it with html. NSCP supports the features defined by the standards body.
Are you a beta tester for Win 98? Has it been released yet? If you can't answer yes to both of those questions then you are making unqualified statements.
Surely you've read press releases about SGI and MSFT's agreements and partnerships lately. While I'm NDA'd about most stuff, I suggest you use a little common sense in determining what I may or may not know wrt. a MSFT OS. For all you know, I've seen the source, right?
Besides, MSFT openly stated that IE would be the only browser in Win98. A number of columnists (that have beta'd it) have observed this behaviour. Don't obfuscate, it's unbecoming.
