Of course you can choose your browser. Here's what he said, read it again: they were stuck with Windows 95 because it allowed the company to run Netscape which, at that time, was the only Browser that would support both UNIX and MSFT operating system.

Anyone can run Netscape on win95 rather than explorer; just install it and click on it... I do everyday ??? by James Nicoll True. And that is why Boeing said they were stuck with Windows 95! Windows 95 allowed them to run Netscape and the MSFT Browser. Netscape supports both UNIX and the MSFT Browser. Boeing testified at the trial that they could not upgrade to MSFT's newer operating system because the MSFT Browser was so entangled with the operating system that they could NOT RUN NETSCAPE; therefore, they could not run UNIX. I have told you that I am not a technical person so perhaps the technology has changed since the trial began last summer.
