Re: [SLUG] interesting rumour, IE on linux

They had a Unix Version a few years back, didn't work but hey you get that.
But Microsoft would not open up internet explorer, it took Netscape
programmers ages before they released mozilla and they where going for 0
bugs. Microsoft are motivated by money, thus as you say what would they
achieve.

Would linux distributions ever ship with something that was not open
source??

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens
