Sun doesn't own Netscape, it is owned by AOL Time Warner. Here is link from the Washington Post about one of several reports of spyware added to Netscpae by AOL:

Openly Windows XP bears spyware.
Yes, the browser skews searches toward MS web sites, it keeps hidden logs of all sites visited even after you delete the cache and history (http://www.fuckmicrosoft.com/content/ms-hidden-files.shtml), the media player logs the DVDs you play, and those are just the things that have been discovered so far.
