>>> So Mr. MSFT engineer, what is to prevent users from runnign NSCP Nav on Win 98?

No one has been arguing that users are prevented from running NSCP. However, they have to keep both browsers, and all of the problems it entails, including:
1. The user will not always have the choice of which browser
is used, and will have to learn and use both browsers for
different tasks.
2. Once MSFT has leveraged their monopoly to beat the consumer
into using their browser for all of the "convenience" that it
provides over the competition so that MSFT has a dominant
share of the browser market, they will be able to control the
Internet much in the same way that they now control the PC market.
