What happened is irrelevant to what the desire was of M$ when it set out to take the browser market away from Netscape. When you control the OS market and make your browser a tied component of it and to the benefit of yourself only, you limit the ability of anyone else to compete. I'm still waiting for you to enlighten the rest of us as to the real reason, though. The anti-trust case that they lost would tend not to bode well for whatever altruistic argument you might have. I'd also like to hear how MS Java and jscript show a desire for people to be using anything but M$ products to access or publish pages on the Internet?
