<Look at it this way-- Netscape so far has made a lot of money on stuff other than their browser. They made those sales in part because of the ubiquity of their browser. I believe that's the general argument.>

That is not a strong argument. NSCP did not make a lot of money, they grew revenues quickly for a quick period, which were funded by hyper-investment, thereby leaving little or no profit.

The products which brought that revenue growth had no real commercial competition. Now those products are no longer the market leader and have been rendered to commodity status. They have altered thier business model to a totally unproven, very thin margin status (the web site stuff), which happens to be rife with competition itself.

Thus far, NSCP has not clearly articulated a cogent case of a profitable future.
