read this infoworld.com Popular Idea No. 3: Microsoft should be free to decide what is part of the operating system. If Microsoft had waited, merging Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer into a single Windows 98 utility, I doubt Justice or anyone else would have taken action. Internet Explorer isn't part of Windows 95, though, any more than it's part of the other operating systems you can get it for. Proof: As astute observers have pointed out, Microsoft categorizes Internet Explorer under business software on its Web site. You won't find it listed under operating systems. Internet Explorer is an application, not an OS function. Microsoft bundled some OS kernel updates and some Internet Explorer functions into the same DLLs. That's all.
