Until high bandwidth modems are everywhere the discussion is really quite moot. Navigator's been confused for an os because it's an interface and the average brain thinks because it doesn't leave navigator it doesn't really need windows. When the doj sees how far navigator is from an actual os I think nscp will be sent to its room for a little time out.

Oh boy. Somebody is showing his deep and incisive knowledge of computers and software here. I don't know anybody who's confusing Navigator for an OS except for you and ed. Microsoft calls IE part of the OS mostly because it's required by the too clever consent decree Bill signed, but it's not really an OS or part of the OS either. They can't just say it's bundled.

Of course, with Bill on record saying sort of the same thing, through the transitive API construction, I guess your confusion is understandable. Your little discourse here is better than the ranting jackals line for entertainment value.

Cheers, Dan.
