Steve, I happen to think your cricism of Netscape senior management lacks crediblity. Who is it you think has made strategic mistakes in the past? You could do some home work on the subject and avoid the generalizations about netscape senior management and the poor execution you allege.Try the recently released book Speeding the Net. In case you hadn't noticed they are competing with a monopolist ruthlessly protecting it's status. I think nscp mgnt has demonstrated a capability to answer every challenge laid in it's way. Looking back over the last 3 years the only criticism I would level is the obvious slow consumer portal strategy. Open source /free browser earlier? Maybe. But remember Navigator was a major revenue source until version 4 of IE. Jim Barksdale is considered by many to be one of the top CEO's anywhere. You are also way wrong about Andreessen.
