Sal -

(I'm disregarding the rumored "secret" APIs)--Microsoft had to use them to write the code to integrate IE. Netscape can do the same (and a long time ago, they said that they would--but I've heard nothing on that front since).

Wake up and smell the coffee, Sal. NSCP can't 'integrate' their browser to the same extent as MSFT because they don't have access to the internals of the OS. For relevant examples, see

Here's some more. I'm sure others that are more familiar with Win32 programming can shed some light on these.
