MS block competitor download link

Yes. Somehow MS IE feels the heat in the up coming browser war. It was a victory for IE when fought against Netscape. IE won for two reasons: IE was part of the OS which was Windows 98 and IE was also free for download for those without IE. Netscape on the other hand was not freeware. Right now, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and some others are the building blocks for another war. MS even redirect links from search engines that download browsers to their msn website. Are they that desperate to do that? Blocking links may not help them since there are mirror sites everywhere. IE better buck up or lose out.
