yeah, just read that. what baffles me is that both netscape and IE are free, so how are they infringing on their market.
does sound strange, but they seem to be going ahead with it anyway
this should be like the hub of all things funny:

AOL buys the dying Netscape so they can sue MS over it...
People would have used Netscape if it weren't so ****ty. Oh no CiberThug is going to defend Netscape, that's TWO debates I'm carrying on...one for my country...another for a browser...:D
yes, thats a pretty good protest:

yes but netscape wasn't free at the time that MS unfairly "integrated" IE into Windows, so AOL are seeking commercial compensation for lost revenue; and under current law I believe they will receive 3 times the amount they are rewarded - which could be a big bill for MS.Quote:

if they want netscape for be better than IE they should make it better than IE :rolleyes:
people arent using it cuz microsoft is "making" them use it, they're using it cuz they know other alternatives are crap
i don't see the problem with MS including their own software with their own OS. i mean, if AOL can sue, where does it end? if MS made some really popular IRC proggie, and included it in their OS, should the guy who made mIRC be allowed to sue? :rolleyes:
AOL are just pissed that they bought such a crap browser.
I dont see a problem with MS includeing stuff in their OS at all, hell you dont see Dodge sueing Chevy because Chevy puts Chevy radios in their vehicles...
If AOL is so upset about it, then why doesnt AOL come out with its own OS and put its netscape browser in it ... oh wait I remember now AOL was thinking of buying RedHat linux just a couple of weeks ago werent they...
Hmmmm..........................
