If any of you are serious about boycotting MS, then you need to remove win95 and any other MS programs from your computer. If not for MS, we would not be where we are today with any aspect of the computer industry, including the Internet. Every computer I have had, (4), I have had the option of setting the default browser. Even though Windows came with I.E., I was able to download Netscape for FREE, and set it up as my default browser. Quit jumping on the bash MS bandwagon, Bill Gates deserves every dollar he has earned.
