<Illegal tying of products and monopoly preservation is the issue. Mind telling us which monopoly products Netscape tied its browser to?> If you define monopoly as the ability to unilaterally set prices, then NSCP's browser was a monopoly for a period. They were the only ones that were able charge the prices that they did and they drove other companies from the market. As for tying, e-mail clients, news readers, IRC clients. NSCP once bragged about being the most used software product in the history of computing. If that is the case, then they were guilty of tying the products mentioned above, especially since their product was available for free.
