Heh. According to the latest ziff-news web page, when a new user starts 
up Microsoft Netowrk, it changes the name of the Winsock file and 
installs its own version which is incompatible with Netscape.

Netscape's fix makes MSN and all other Winsock-based Windows 95 services 
unusable...

Sounds like a minor problem to me...
