Without going into the question of MSFT innovation, your statement about Netscape 'inventing' the browser is ridiculous. Netscape has even a lower claim to innovation than MSFT, they are a true one trick pony who borrowed all of the thinking for their flagship product. This kind of nonsense is like claiming that Apple invented the GUI, another long-standing myth. In both cases the companies took a good but not well marketed technological invention and packaged it in a way that customers could use. Next you will claim that Marc was the key genius behind mosaic and so at least the innovator was at netscape, even if the invention happened somewhere else. Think again there too, or talk to some of the people who actually worked on that product. Do you want to speculate on how many of the original mosaic team contributed to IE4 as opposed to Netscape? Do you even want to know? You really ought to do a little more digging before you advance this kind of nonsense.
