Microsoft's web browser is free.  Of course CI$ will switch.

Sometimes the posts on this group are really puzzling.  Microsoft is
the enemy (group one) but it's good that they're going to punish
Netscape (group two) because Netscape is altering the language and
that is evil (group three).

Group four, who doesn't give a crap about Microsoft and thinks
Netscape should be allowed to try and do whatever they want to try and
do, can count me in.
