<So how do you explain Netscape's current successes in the Enterprise?> What successes? 111 million dollars in revenues after 4 years? My point exactly. Take a look at what Amazon has done in revenue after just 2 years. If they (NSCP) would have bound Navigator 2.0 to Wordperfect with proprietary, web related Javascript and server side extensions and continued to offer the browser for free (as well as the entire web laced WP Office package for 70 dollars retail or $40 to the enterprise like Corel did), they would have amounted a barrier to entry that MSFT would have found VERY difficult to surpass. Think of the volume of attainable when your office package sells at the rate of Navigator. The ISP's ditributing your office software along with your browser. Instead they tried to make revenue directly form the browser instead of using it solely to erect barriers to entry to thier largest competitor.
