M$ to charge money for browser
First you give it for free to destroy the competition. Then you start charging money for it.
MSN Explorer 8
You can find it in other places as well.

MSN Explorer != Internet Explorer
Well, as far as I know, MSN Explorer is not Internet Explorer.
Last time I bothered to look MSN Explorer was a skinned version of IE that was primarily intended to be used for MSN which is the Microsoft ISP. It seems this new version is adding a lot of additional tools as well.Comment

TINSTAAFL!
Ofcourse they will charge when there is no competition!
Did anyone realisticly beliewe that MS gave IE away for free because they were nice??
If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

Ah well IE is not YET MSN explorer (MSN comes bundled with WinXPHome i think). but methinks it may be soon as the MSN colour scheme matches WinXP :PLife is a bed of roses. Everyone else sees the roses, you are the one being gored by the thorns.

They already <I>are</I> charging for the browser, or did you think it took $200 of software to boot a computer? And MS even said IE can't be removed from the OS.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

Our spineless, worthless government would allow Microsoft to charge us all for the air we breathe if they were bribed enough.. and they probably soon will be.Comment

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that M$ can't charge you to upgrade the browser.Originally posted by Wombat

Gurm, you're wrong here.
now:
IE xxx - Free, full of features etc.
Msn Exp - Costs money, has some features
Future:
IE yyy - Free, skinny, featureless and buggy, lot's of security holes and backdoors
MSN exp - Costs a lot, feature packed, less buggy, less security holes, less backdoorsComment
