The thing that annoys me about the whole browser war issue is that Microsoft took another approach to things than Netscape/Mozilla did and have been taken to task for it..
The first demos I ever saw of Windows "chicago" 95 experimented with the idea is that if you have one window open you could open a word document and excel document whatever you wanted any window could be any program. That element is still there today.
Microsoft and rightly so saw the fact that http telnet and ftp are protocols just like SMB and other existing protocols should be built into the OS.. I would like to see this approach taken in AmigaOS, and then the browser just becomes an application that enables these protocols.
You can't disable or remove IE because it is based on integrated protocols which I could argue should be part of the OS anyway, not an add-on..
I would just say that it's all how you implement them. I would love to see an HTTP-Handler built into the AmigaOS that is an integrated as data types are..
Netscape can still be run with IE present. Why hobble your OS...
