<Microsoft, of course, is doing its very best to make sure that Netscape never gets into that position> <Similary, in the ISP business, Netscape had an income stream that Microsoft destroyed by giving things away, or more accurately, paying the ISP's to take their product.> Like Sal and i said in earlier posts, business is business. MSFT is not doing anything that NSCP is not, or at least wants to do? Isn't NSCP doing everything they can to mske sure MSFT never gets into thier position. Didn't NSCP destroy the income stream of the makers of air mosiac by giving away thier products for free? <If you count add in all the promotional expenses in strongarming people into using IE/IIS, there's a lot of money being poured into stuff that is generating essentially no direct revenue> And this wasn't true with NSCP in the early versions of Navigator? This good guy/bad guy has to stop. If MSFT didn't do the things that they did, would they be a superior investment? Ditto for NSCP. BTW, I thought that an empirical (in lieu of a Good Guy vs. Bad Guy) comparison of the companies in question might have been informative to some. I happen to like my spreadsheets:-)
