<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. >
I can use third party clients with IE. Where's the substance?
<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.>
MSFT suported all web features up until DHTML, if I am wrong simply point it out. No standards body defined frames when NSCP released them. nor Javascript, plug-in tags, embed tags, NSCP's proprietary DHTML, the list goes on.
<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?>
So basically you are saying that one cannot fire up and run the Nav executable on Win 98. If you are not, you are being quite misleading. Just because you cannot use Nav to browse the internals of the Win OS does not mean you cannot use Nav on the Win OS as a browser for the web (which is what 90% of the people who use browsers do).
Can IE currently browse the internals of any NSCP products. Before you say yes, try and administer a Enterprise server with IE.
Your argument is EXTREMELY one-sided. |
