I was at mah grannies over memorial day weekend And I was rummaging around a box of CDs when I came across "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Installation CD" Old or what? :P

[Smith6612]

That's old LOL. Probably back from Windows 98 or 95. Find any IE 2.0 disks there?

[Shadow121]

haha Nope :P

That's cool. Save that CD for a couple more decades and should be a collector's item. Lol

[Zangetsu]

Actually, you used to have to pay for browsers. Not to mention, a lot of the old dial-up companies (like Prodigy) had their own browsers. Microsoft decided that the internet would be better if everyone was able to get it for free - and how the world has changed.

Not quite - Micro$haft decided if it could give away a free browser, they could eliminate all competition, and get a stranglehold on the market.
