>> Integration of the Winsock into Win 95

Is a matter of a single, well defined, low level networking protocol being added to those that were already a part of Microsoft Networking, like Netbios. It means nothing in terms of applications. It is a driver, not an application.

You are wrong here Keith. Integration of the Winsock into Win 95 was a significant boon to the
consumer.


Reg, that is a low-level network driver... a logical thing to include in an OS and one that needs to be integrated to get the best performance. The same cannot be said for integrating the browser. Sorry, but you are completely and utterly wrong on this point.
