How Microsoft Is Busting Its Own 'The Browser Is Part of the OS' Myth
,----[ Quote ]
| This column is not going to revisit the oft-
| debated question of whether Internet Explorer
| really is part of Windows. That matter is ancient
| history, a relic of the U.S. Department of
| Justice versus Microsoft trial that ended more
| than a decade ago. Authorities allowed Microsoft
| to continue to bundle IE with every copy of
| Windows sold.
|
| Nor am I going to dwell on the more-recent
| European antitrust case that revolved around the
| same topic. That case, of course, ended with
| Microsoft agreeing to provide European Union
| users with a "browser ballot," which makes
| explicit the fact that they have a choice of
| browsers.

| Mr. Andreessen appears to want a rematch. Now a prominent Silicon Valley

| some of his close associates, that is building a new Internet browser,
| according to people with knowledge of his investment.
