After all this time, Netscape still holds a 55% market share of the browser business -- this is the dirty little secret that the anti-MicroSoft camp would prefer you didn't know -- Netscape is the monopoly power here. That the DOJ would step in on behalf of a monopoly power like Netscape is (to copy a phrase used by Bill Gates), beyond bizarre.

First off-- I find it remarkable that people here consider Netscape's 55% market share a monopoly, but don't regard Microsoft's 90+% PC O/S share a monopoly.

The next time Netscape threatens to put Compaq out of business you can call them a monopoly. Until then, it's Microsoft.
