Isn't that more proof that the consumer won here? Even business consumers? By making IE free, there is no reason to pay Netscape. I'm sorry but this is not an example of a monopoly. Should Wireshark be banned in the United States because it's the best packet sniffer and it's competition is basically 0 right now?
IE was not really free. You still had to buy Windows.
But at the time no one was buying windows because of IE! It was WORD!
FTFY: At the time noone was buying windows because they pirated it.
