Do you mean Netscape the browser or Netscape the company? Netscape the company didn't make much money on Netscape the browser when they decided to open-source Netscape, and the open-source Netscape (Mozilla) hasn't even reached version 1.0 before you seem to name it dead. As far as I see it, most good browsers today are based on Mozilla, and compared with the closest competitors, MSIE, Opera and KHTML, Mozilla is very standards compliant and seems easy to integrate in applications. MSIE and Opera both have serious problems with standards compliance - for instance, it is very difficult to create good looking web pages in XHTML 1.0 (strict, of course), unless you disregard Opera and MSIE. In other words, the Netscape browser has been reinvented, and the Gecko engine (the most important part) of version 0.9x is increasing it's market share all the time. Dybdahl.
