Well, Larry, it's one of those duality of man things. Like, everyone on the Microphile side says you can't compete with them, they're just too good technically and too ruthless as a business, but Netscape and everybody else should quit whining and compete. With your shield or on your shield, but there is no shield. You will be assimilated.
As to the 32 flavors of Netscape, I already said something about that, but I'm used to repeating for the benefit of you guys. So, Netscape gives you a standard release, at regular intervals, incorporating outside developments as they are deemed appropriate. People out modifying source are on their own. They have an incentive to get stuff integrated into the standard release, and their developments are a useful resource to Netscape. It's not easy, but it can be done. FSF does it with a lot more limited resources than NSCP.
Anyway, everything I've read says TCO is a Windows problem, not a browser problem. Do you have some contrary information there? Nav doesn't have a history of messing up other software on your computer, to my knowledge. And multiple versions can coexist on the same system. Unlike... oh, never mind.
Cheers, Dan. |
