Last time I checked on it, Netscrape Communicator was somewhere around $45
in the stores, where IE was free with about 10 different programs.
Netscrape came with the program that I bought, and it was a stripped version
that kept wanting me to sent $30 to Netscrape, and it stopped working after
6 months (date stamped). Let's see...IE only wanted me to sign up with MSN
once, and that was because I used an MSN trial CD to install it. First time
I ran it, I simply went into the settings, set the start page as blank, and
Bingo! no MSN. If you ever noticed, When you got Netscrape on an AOL CD,
it _really_ wants you to sign up for AOL AND pay $30 to them.

Seems to me that I remember an old version of IE that was for OS/2, too.
