Re "MSFT saw Netscape's browser as a threat to Windows and used its power in the Windows market to destroy Netscape's core business of developing browsers" I seem to remember using Netscape before IE was around. I used a number of different versions. I even remember browsing the internet being described as "looking on Netscape". Funny thing is, I don't ever remember paying for any Netscape software, and I don't know anybody who did (apart from server software). Giving IE away was MS's only possible response to the predatory Netscape that was making a loss while building up market share via a free product that threatened MS products.
