Actually, there is a very good reason for Netscape to want its free browser to sell in large numbers. Netscape doesn't get revenue directly from its browser now. However, Netscape wants as much market share as it can get so that Netscape servers (which it does get a lot of revenue from) are sold in large numbers. Ergo, giving away Netscape's browser in Windows would help Netscape. On a personal note: This thread is becoming emotional and is losing a lot of the very useful stock analysis it used to have. Instead, it's looking more and more like the AMD (kill Intel) thread. Are we here to vent our spleens and call Gates and/or Klein names, or are we here to make money.
