Well, you still did not get the whole picture about what NSCP is up to. Do you think NSCP can get more business by selling the Browser ? than locked the customers with its free browser into its E-commerce (Internet business) business ? By selling the browsers, the volume is limited and there are lots of competition in the market. But by lock in the business of e-commerce by giving away its browser, NSCP can get much more revenues by charge monthly fees, advertisement, selling products through internet and the potential is unlimited. By giving away its browser, the users of Navigator will be direct to Nscp's e-commerce station by default. Can you imagine what will happen if Yahoo gives away its own browser which will link its users by default to yahoo's station ? That is the whole thing that Nscp is up to, and it just did not want to confess it. Now they are setting up MSFT so that NSCP can get more users of its free browsers , which will give a big boot of its e-commerce business. So, NSCP want to control the e-commerce market by giving away its free browsers. In Yahoo's eye , it is an unfair competition , i.e to control the e-commerce market by having a monopoly position in the free browser market. If NSCP gets its way, NSCP may get an antitrust suit from YAHOO. So, Microsoft actually saved NSCP from an antitrust suit .
