Will IE 6 stand alone? | |
|

| Time: 10:00 EST/15:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Sources close to Microsoft said Tuesday that the company has been debating internally whether to make IE 6 available only as part of Windows or also as a separate product. In the antitrust verdict currently on appeal, Microsoft was found to have unfairly pushed its browser by bundling versions of IE with its flagship Windows PC operating system software. So far, Microsoft has not made a separate trial, or "beta," release of IE 6 available to a large number of testers. Instead, the company has made "technical" IE 6 betas available to a subset of testers via integrated beta releases of its Windows XP client operating system. But according to a document published on the ActiveWin Windows enthusiast Web site--allegedly a copy of the release notes for the upcoming IE 6 public preview Beta 2--Microsoft plans to make IE 6 available as a standalone browser. | ||

Nice mention for ActiveWin! It's interesting though, for Microsoft. They're on the verge of another break-out browser war with AOL TimeWarner. MS's decisions now will be critical to how they are positioned in a year from now when Netscape might make a reemergence. It's even more interesting that we're talking about how MS is going to have to fight tough again in the browser war, considering Microsoft is on trial now for squashing all compeition in said market. It's even more evidence that the DOJ case is without merit and that Judge "Sleepy" Jackson had no clue (or was competely biased) in the original trial. |
