Netscape Monopoly Abuse - the proof is out. DOJ lawyers admitted that one acceptable solution to their complaint was for MSFT to simply pay for and bundle a Nutscape bowser with their OS - As if anyone would use it, when they have the real thing right in the operating system of Win98. Netscape is desperate to maintain their monopoly, and are content to use US tax dollars to prop up their monopoly status in the browser market. Evidently the US government is only too happy to go along. What other outrages will we find?

Netscape Monopoly Abuse - Where was the DOJ when Netscape reached 80%+ market share, ruthlessly running Spyglass and other browser vendors out of the browser business, or at least rendering them so weak that they no longer threatened the NSCP browser monopoly? Just think - I bet Spyglass never knew that all they had to do was pay off a few political hacks, and they could get the DOJ to ask Netscape to bundle a Spyglass browser with every Netscape browser sold. Oh well, we're all learning as we go here.
