why does MS not like Netscape?
Ice-9:
I don't see how releasing IE for Linux could do M$ any harm, except maybe for the fact that they would acknowledge Linux as real competition, something they always kinda ruled out.
Can you think of even 1 Linux user (except Win Xpee loser when he's on linux) who would use IE?
I mean I know a lot of people who don't even use IE on Winblows anymore and use Mozilla and Opera instead, so why would a linux user use an inferior product?
choasforages:
i would quarinine one of my systems and precede to install it. you see i havn't been exposed to the true horrors of MSIE in a while. the only thing in the last three months iv down with windows is make a computer work by walking in the room/*i got paid 20 bucks to clean it of spyware though*/, configure a router and use MSIE to download the second redhat 7.3 image, and use the ti-89 dev tools on winnt on my pentium 60 til i put debian back on it. so i havn't seen how bad it sucks now/*probably worse*/
Chooco:
ok i understand now.
in the interest of sarcasm, are extraterrestrials and the government involved in this too? :D
that .NET thing is a stupid idea, why the hell did i buy that C# book anyway :mad:

If I remember correctly, Bill Gates is a Killer Bug from Venus.
He came here to prepare the invasion, obviously his starting point was the invasion of our privacy!!
If we let him succeed, soon there will be nothing else but Bugs (like him) and cattle to feed the Bugs.
KernelPanic:
Because, for a long time in the dyas of old, Netscape SERIOUSLY kicked IE's ass. Thats why they had to borrow code from Mosaic to use in IE4.0 when they were releasing windows 95. In Help >> About Internet Explorer it still says "Based on NCSA Mosaic. NCSA Mosaic(TM); was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."
Well ha ha theres a history lesson goodbye.
Also M$ generally hate any competition, But Bill Gates is clever so he invests in competitors. He has even infected Red Hat with a cash injection :-(
