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

If the early versions are any guide, things happen like:

1. When I clicked on a link in exchange mail, it tried to run the deinstalled IE. It then put up a message asking for a different browser, but wouldn't actually run it, crashing instead. This isn't always the pattern, but the result seemed to always be the same for me, can't use the links from MS other apps.

2. When I installed netscape and then MS VC++ 5.0 on windows 95 after having disabled (not removed) IE, it launched the internet connection via modem while I was browsing some docs, but I was not able to use Netscape to actually look at them.

These could for sure be install problems. The kind they normally fix.
This is one way you could look at 'no choice.'
