Chapter 370: Confronting Someone

There was a particular statement at Microsoft's press conference that drew notable attention.

Microsoft announced that its browser and all components were completely free, and future versions of the browser would be bundled with Microsoft's operating system.

The browser would just be a feature of the new system, rather than being sold as an independent application within Microsoft's product lineup.

In less than four months, Windows 95 had already sold 15 million copies worldwide.

Without a doubt, with the platform's advantage, they were all potential users of Navigator in the future.

Secondly, Microsoft had followed suit with a plugin feature after Netscape updated the popup alert that locked the default browser with one click.

And now, Windows users would often encounter this situation whenever they clicked on an external hyperlink.
