Previously it was free only to studints and non-profit orgs. MS started giving it away free simply to stop Netscape. That is anti-compettive. Plus, MS is now in negotions with DOJ. They are willing to "allow" Navigator to be installed by the vendors, supposedly without penalty. This is being forced by the DOJ. -- *** To reply remove nospam from my return address. ***
