Netscape was based on free Mosaic financed by our tax dollars and was
originally free from right here in Illinois. It was Netscape that
started charging for it and made millions from it. Microsoft made it
free again..

I agree. I looked at this site and you cannot just post Hotmail pages
as your IMail server pages. I have over 38 patents and have been
deeply involved in intellectual property for many many years.
Microsoft could have this site closed very easily. There don't appear
to be any pages changed after downloading them directly from Hotmail,
logos and all..
