<Anyone can downlaod a "Free" browser. Don't get me wrong-I like NSCP browser and use it myself-But my useage has not contributed one dime to NSCP.> To be honest, using the NSCP browser does contribute to NSCP's bottom line, that is why they allowed you to have it for free. The larger their browser share, the more leverage they have for pushing their servers and related products, which of course work best with the NSCP browser. Both MSFT and NSCP plan, already have implemented proprietary extensions to the server that either are only recognized, or at least are best recognized by the company's respective browser. This is the reason that anybody who says that browser share doesn't mean anything is not being straightforward. It is also the reason why NSCP will not enforce the agreements in the software license. Browser share is still very important. Imagine if all of the desktops in the enterprise used only IE and/or the active desktop, much of NSCP's upcoming offerings would lose quite a bit of thier practical functionality, and it would make much more sense to stick to the MSFT server platforms.
