Browser war rumors about today. ZDNet is reporting that MS Internet Explorer 5.x will be the last free version of IE and that IE 6.0 will be integrated with Microsoft's next generation operating system dubbed "Whistler." While another rumor has surfaced that AOL may be dropping the IE codebase and going with the new Netscape/Mozilla engine. ZDNet also has an article from late December talking about Microsoft's "stealth" .NET service called "Netdocs" being described as a building-block for the .NET service and said to be a "single, integrated application that will include a full suite of functions, including e-mail, personal information management, document-authoring tools, digital-media management, and instant messaging." Are the browser wars about to have a rebirthing?
