<It's not clear if NSCP could have done this. After all, MSFT dominated the OEM channel before NSCP was born, and any attempt by NSCP to bundle the browser probably would have been rejected by the OEMS, who would have been under pressure by MSFT to wait and bundle MSFT's browser when it becomes available.> I was going to say that was pure speculation, but I can't even be that generous. If NSCP could not do it back then when they had nearly ALL of the market share, how did they do it recently with less market share and clout? NSCP got quite a few ISPs, jsut ask the NSCP OEM salesman that use to post to this thread. They currently have ATT and Bell Atlantic, for I just installed the Internet kits of both and SNCP was forced on my machine. There goes your alleged lack of choice. Like I said earlier, they were too busy trying to buy short term revenue instead of buying long term market share, which is exactly what MSFT did. Don't get me wrong, I like NSCP as a company, but I don't feel they are a good investment and I don't think there products are as good as MSFT's.
