I remember that case, there were allegations of monopolistic
actions by Microsoft. Basically Netscape was pissed because
Microsoft dared to include a free browser with Windows and have
it integrated. The case was settled. The settlement terms were
for MS to provide a way to remove IE from Windows and provide
access to it's API. And as we can all see, it was a great
precedent because nobody now includes a browser with the OS they
sell nor do they integrate it. ;)
