[thelist] Netscape 7 AOL trickery

Hi,

I've just tried to install Netscape 7, and it won't start unless I register
for an AOL screen name. I already have Mozilla 1.1 so I'm not too bothered,
but surely this is bad practice, if not illegal? How do they hope to claw
back some ground from Microsoft if they put up barriers to the use of their
software?

Does anyone know a way around this?

Cheers,

Graham
