A. RE: "All browsers browse on the same Internet. MSFT doesn't own the Internet or all the web sites." GW

Microsoft does not own the Internet. It owns the access to the internet on 96.2% of all new PC computers sold world wide. Just a few more "technically innovative" tweeks and it will "inadvertently" own the Internet. That's the game plan, right?

B. RE: "Simply install Netscape and set it to be the default browser and there you go." GW

Doing that does not currently void the warranty or hopelessly screw up the computer. But, just how far do you "go"? An integrated browser is more functional, right? Microsoft says so, right? Its a necessary "technical innovation", right? Swore to it on a stack of bibles in a court of law, right?

How can what you say be so right and what Microsoft says be so wrong?

Right?
