Gee, funny how their one specific allegation against Microsoft is, oh,
somewhat less than factual. Last time I checked there was still a HUGE
number of people running Netscape browsers on Windows.

I know, I shouldn't have even bothered replying to this post. But jeez,
Adam, couldn't you find a slightly more credible piece of anti-Microsoft
crap to forward? There's so much out there to choose from that there's
really no excuse for scraping the bottom of the barrel like this.
