It was the fact that it came with windows and free that broke netscape. That the rendering engine is so embedded in the OS that the question is "will we be able to bring IE X to platform windows Y at all" is just stupid.
- DanBC 12y agoMS prevented vendors from bundling Netscape in Windows. MS used the fact that IE was tied so deeply into the OS as a reason for not being able to unbundle it. MS used APIs to favour IE over other software - MS made their OS work better with their browser than with other competitor browsers.
