CompaQ is installing Netscape 1.2

Compaq is deleting the MSIE icon.

Netscape is doing the same thing. Our company has warned against using the
proprietary codes in Netscape and IE, thus keeping people from viewing the
web site with any browser except the one it was written for. The following
browers are used MSIE, Netscape, and Chameleon.

These claims by the DOJ are only straw men to cover up the fact that they
are trying too protect Netscape from completely losing their monopoly. I
use both.
