I remember the days when Microsoft Windows bundled Internet Explorer essentially making it the only browser allowed to operate with its computer software. Other browsers could be loaded via a purchased disc or over very slow modems. They were sued for antitrust violations and finally settled without MS being broken up as a monopoly. I guess MS hasn’t learned the lessons of those early days of the internet.

In those days, you could spit in any general direction and have a 30% chance of hitting a free AOL CD including the AOL browser. I obtained my first copy of IE at Super Bowl XXX. Version 2.0 was included with my seat cushion, no joke! I still have the seat cushion.
