But, why did MS put a web browser into Win95 OSR2? Because there was already so much great content that people were going around MS to get.
In 1994, when the world cup was played in the USA the Web was already in such widespread use that EDS, Sprint and Sun Microsystems produced a
web-site for it.
I mean, either you continue as usual and get screwed should you hit a malicious link, or use a different browser. Who in their right minds would ACTUALLY follow the steps here. "Hmmm, this link looks suspicious... I'd better manually enter the address". Or copy a piece of JScript code for a more verbose description of the link...
You don't have to manually type the piece of JScript. Whilst reading the article, I made a Favorite named "Show Address" that contains the Jscript. Now I can select this favorite any time I'm suspicious.
If people don't buy CD's long enough, the companies funding the RIAA shall go bankrupt and noone is left to fund the RIAA. Then the RIAA shall no longer have money to buy politicians and laws.
I don't think this is correct. Some of the companies funding the RIAA make money from other sources so won't go bankrupt if CD sales go down.
The company, which sells its chips to notebook computer makers like Sony, Toshiba and Fujitsu, said the providing of secure storage of certificates and keys for authentication and encryption of confidential data was a "critical challenge facing the computer industry and end users."
I definately would feel challenged if other people start storing certificates and keys on my computer without allowing me access to them.
Your assuming all countries have the same legal system as the USA.
Most countries make the loser in a court case pay the legal costs of the winner.
Some countries have legal aid. The state will pay the legal cost of a person who can't afford to pay where they have a reasonible cost of winning and they believe it is in the publics interst for the case to occur.

I saw this on a computer at work. I can't remember what versions of Outlook and IE are on that computer.
arstechnica report that XP service pack 2 adds a pop-up blocker to IE

Microsoft and Kellogs have already done this in the UK with CDs containing extracts from Encarta.
p.s. Yes; the CDs did have adverts for buying Encarta.
I received a couple of CDs for their service. I never used the ISP although I did install Netscape Communicator (4.6? or 4.7?) from one for a friend.

Candians may not know how to record music but they do have to pay a 5ax on CD-R discs to the music industry.
I wonder if Smithsonian Folkways is having to pay a tax on CD-R discs they use ?
