the only ones who seem to be complaining are msft's competitors and the doj. i don't hear consumers complaining? i don't hear computer manufacturers complaining? if consumers want to download netscape, they can as i have.

<<Kevin, Netscape's browser was NOT free until 2 or 3 months ago>> I downloaded a free version of netscape, from their site, well over a year ago. <<Giving away a browser is one thing, but selling it as part of an OS is something completely different.>> Yes, very convenient to be included. <<You don't work in the computer industry, do you?>> only since the early 80's Also, a browser is no big piece of technology. Protecting a browser is like Apple trying to protect overlaping windows. absurd.
