re So those 60% of the users of Netscape will have this decision made for them?

No. Any and everyone can still use Netscape Navigator. If they feel the need.

Explain this concept of consumer choice and the free-market phenomenon?

Uh., well, are you saying you don't understand the concept of installing software? Sorry I'm kinda busy, and don't want to get into the difficulties of clicking install icons.

Netscape had all these but did not own the OS distribution channel.

What I'm saying is maybe Netscape didn't really have a viable plan for competing in the OS arena. Browsing in an OS function. Microsoft does better OS than Netscape. Netscape doesn't have a "right" to succeed, anymore than WebCrawler or Spyglass had a "right" to be successful. They all had a right to try. They simply all failed. MSFT simply makes the best OS, hands down. (IMO). -GGG-

Cheers, Norm!
