"Anyway I changed my views after the netscape shenanigans msft pulled with the boxmakers. There simply was no excuse for "forcing" cpq and Dell to pull nscp from the desktop under the guise of supportability of windows." --- I know I've harped on this before, but that is NOT what happened. MSFT said that they could not remove IE from Windows, that Windows had to be delivered in its entirety. MSFT did NOT say that Navigator could not be included as well. Many OEMs ship systems with Navigator pre-loaded. As a matter of fact, at one point in the trial, some MSFT employees went down to CompUSA and purchased several off-the-shelf PCs to prove this very point. - Eric
