Jozef re <<I am not sure what makes you think that MSFT was in fact serious in splitting the market with nobody like Netscape. >> Ohhhhh, about a dozen email from Bill gates and other executive which were obtain by court order and days of testimonies in the trial. You apparently missed it. Also, MSFT wanted to divide the browser market, not the whole OS market. MSFT proposal was also illegal. MSFT proposal was would only leave Netscape a very small portion of overall browser market. They basically told Netscape accept it or you will be destroyed. Netscape did not accept. Re <<The fact is that Netscape is dead, and Windows (95, NT, 2000) is not any more expensive than it was before.>> How is that relevant, beside 2000 is more expensive than 95. Also if you think the browser will always be free even if Netscape is fully dead, you are wrong. Mani
