Yes I do. They would be uing a browser based on the Gecko engine like Netscape is. I remember installing Netscape on all our new fancy Windows95 machines and Windows98 would have most likely shipped with Netscape as its default browser if Microsoft hadn't came out with their own browser.

The internet is popular because it fills a need, not because Microsoft made its own browser and e-mail client.

But we can give Microsoft credit where it is due. We would not have all the viruses and worms filling the internet up with annoying useless traffic if it wasn't for Microsoft.

BTW Apple does have its own browser called Safari. It is based on open standards and has its roots in Konqueror.

Speaking of browsers… what is the stats of this board as far as browsers go?
