Take the shame: Microsofties ADMIT to playing Internet Explorer name-change game

That's cause its hard to beat free

First released in 1995, IE famously crushed Marc Andreesen’s Netscape in the browser wars, eventually grabbing 90 per cent market share.

Really I never was on the 'net early enough to have, had even to bother with Netscape, and with MicroSoft just giving IE3? away for free, on Windows 95. It was a bit of a no brainer, to install that then the $40.00(USD), that Netscape basically wanted for the same thing.

Now why is it that Linux can't seem to beat MicroSoft at that Game?!
