Granted, but Microsoft never charged for IE (IE 1.0 came with the original
Win95 release, I've only see IE 2.0 once and that I think came from the
Windows 95 Plus pack). Realistically it was IE 3.0 that was the first
decent Microsoft Browser, and part of the reason it was so popular was a)
it was free (in the sense of beer) which Netscape 3.0 was not and b) it was
at least as good as Netscape 3.0 and c) Microsoft's marketing department
are evil.
