Why would it be illegal, or any more illegal than anything Netscape has
done?  Netscape gave theirs out for free initially, thus putting everyone
else out of business.  Are we to presume that you consider Netscape better
suited to run the world if they took it over?  Without MS to up the ante
here, Netscape would have gotten complacent.  Just look at Navigator 2.0
vs. 3.0.  They don't look any different, and only have a minimal change in
features.  IE 3.0 is a huge leap in usability alone over IE 2.0 and Nav.
3.0 even.  Without MS, I doubt that Navigator 4.0 would have evolved like
it now has.
