If MSFT did not use contract tying and threatening to deliver their IE, they wouldn't have the 30+ market share. BTW, I haven't heard anywhere that it's 50-50 now Integrating the explorer does not mean death to netscape. The browser is not the whole story. let microsoft win this war, but it is not the whole battle. Netscape has the advantage of implementing industry standards that are welcomed by hordes of companies. MSFT as usual adds its own twist to standards to create its own standard. Buying MSFT is getting stuck in a one way street with MSFT technology from A to Z. Where I work for example, we have ZERO microsoft toechnology/software on our servers (UNIX) On the client side, we have a mix. The browser of chioice is netscape communicator. Whatever Wick says (his opinion), I think netscape is far away from being dead. I think it is still ahead of MSFT in everything internet. MHO.
