 Studie zum Brauser/krieg: Micro/soft bald Monopol-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
 
 Als wichtigste Gründe für diesen klaren Trend sieht eine neue Studie von netaction.org die grosse
 Kollaborations/bereitschaft der grossen Interprovider an.  Die wiederum steht in direktem
 Zusammenhang mit der Auslieferung von Windows98.

 NetAction's new report on consumer choice in web browsers documents Microsoft's increasing grip on
 the ISP market.
 
 ** The bundling of Explorer with Windows 98 is already having the effect of encouraging ISPs to
 support only Microsoft.
 
 ** Almost none of the largest U.S. ISPs give consumers the option to order an alternative to
 Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser and many will not give technical support to consumers who
 install Netscape Navigator or another alternative browser on their computer.
 
 ** The four largest retail U.S. Internet Service Providers, with a combined subscriber base of over
 20 million customers, distribute only Internet Explorer to their customers.
 
 ** A number of services that offered Netscape Navigator as an alternative a year ago now or will
 soon offer only Internet Explorer.
 
 ** While the number of computers with Netscape installed grew by only 33 percent during 1997, the
 number using Explorer nearly tripled.
 
 **IBM, which until now distributed Netscape to its customers, has announced that it will begin
 distributing only Microsoft browser software beginning in September 1998, because of Windows98.
 
 ** Forty-five percent of those surveyed who had begun using the Internet in the last year said the
 primary reason they used a particular browser was because it came bundled with their software, while
 81 percent of novices said they had not switched browsers in the past year.
