>>Why would a company pay for all these expensive Office upgrades, if they can install a SuiteSpot-based intranet and integrate their existing Office suite into Communicator for under $100 per seat servers, clients and all?<<

Mindshare. The latest announcements of Netscape have left a lot of us confused. Microsoft's strategy seems pretty simple: take all the products they have and Internet-enable them. Netscape's strategy seems to be : make a competitor for every product Microsoft sells that runs under communicator (or whatever its called). I am really confused what exactly communicator is going to buy me. It sounds like its MIcrosoft Bob -- a new metaphor for running your desktop.

I don't want to pay for that! Besides, microsoft will give it to me with the next release of windows. I wish netscape would concentrate on one thing (either "we are going to make the damn best Internet servers in the world", or "we will have the absolute best browser"). But to come out of almost nowhere and attempt to be-all-to-everybody seems suicidal. Yes, microsoft is attempting to do the same but they are 10x the size of Netscape, have had multiple revisions of these products, and will stumble undoubtedly but carry on (people are used to MS screwing up, the old saying around here is that wait for version 3 of a MS product before buying it).

I run ie 3.0 and netscape 3.0, i have no desire to upgrade to another damn browser in january. yes, no one forces me to upgrade, but what the heck is the big rush. browsers used to be simple and fast, with all this java/activex/dynamic HTML/etc they are getting seriously bloated.
