Hal-- I do not use the BS supplied by Netscape but unlike many here like the browser much better than what used to be known as Internet Exploder. Things change! The same as I really like my AOL stock but would never permit it on any of my machines as the content is fine for newbies and children. The great part of that is once AOL has someone they rarely leave even with busy signals and knock-offs. All in what trips your trigger-- mine goes with Windows and Netscape,, ATT GLOBAL for the ISP...

If it is so easy to substitute Netscape for Internet Explorer on a Wintel clone, why were they so clumsy in court? Hal PS: Isn't this where Microsoft tried to foist a fakey time edited video on the court and when caught had to actually attempt to do it manually in front of the judge? Pretty close, except that the video in court had nothing to do with the ease of loading Netscape and the demo you refer to was done by Lawrence Lessig to demonstrate how easy it was, in his opinion, to separate msie and o/s functions. You remember Lessig don't you, he was the one removed as Commissioner upon allegations of prejudice, by the Court of Appeals. Asside from that you're pretty much correct.

Hal - excuse the "late hit" - have gotten a little behind on my thread reading. re: If it is so easy to substitute Netscape for Internet Explorer on a Wintel clone Clone of what? The only "clones" anymore are the decreasing "white box" market... BTW I don't use either IE or Netscape as my primary browser, and the machine which hosts most of my web activity does not run Windows... there are a few occasions when I shift to a Win2K box running IE, usually for streaming media... but I have had no problems installing Netscape on either NT or Win98, and have done that a couple of times recently, partly just to see what would happen. It was no more difficult than any other application install.
