War of the Browsers Resumes With More Players This Autumn "But what is different about this war is that these new enhanced browsers are not being given away free — they are included as part of the Internet service provided by America Online, Yahoo and Microsoft's MSN."

I suspect MSFT and AOL are going to have to get into anti-features in their attempts to make this strategy work, e.g., removing/downgrading features in free IE and Netscape to make the paid offerings look better. Of course, that approach probably won't work as long as Mozilla remains free (and superior to AOL/Netscape's version) and continues to evolve.
