Excuse me Ed? I am really confused on this statement: Another secret I would like to share with you is integrating IE with window actually help NSCP, because users can download navigator from the net with IE. If IE is not integrated, how can people download Navigator from the net ? You tell me !!!!! MSFT has not integrated IE, it simply put the browser software on the desktop. Its as integrated as Corel or NSCP or any other 3rd party application. In fact, MSFT TCP/IP stack is not even integrated contrary to what many would believe. Integrated in my mind is any component of the OS that without it would cause other OS components to fail simply by removing it. Secondly, it should not be a component that is simpy to remove or disable by the operator since it would potentially effect the operation of other OS components. Since I can very easily (with a few clicks of a mouse) disable and even remove MSFT's own TCP/IP stack and even replace it with another vendor's stack if I had to (yet another MSFT preditory activity that destroyed 3rd party vendors). Its not integrated. Threfore, IE is even further away from being called an integrated product. IE IS NOT INTEGRATED! Stick to being a stockholder instead of a Technologist. Toy
