"Why not just let the loser sink to the drain , and sooner or later we will see another stronger NSCP come to the market to compete" i dont think it works this way. How much innovation do you see in the areas of word processors, spreadsheets, desktop db's, PIM's, project management software, etc. and if netscape goes down - browsers - maybe you consider the flying dog that gives condesending advice in office 98 innovation but I dont. Microsoft chooses who wins and loses on their platform and its always Microsoft. They use this as a cash cow to extend their monopoly into wherever they want to go next - of course safely after some other company has established a viable market for it. The loser is the customer and innovation - but i guess some find that an acceptable trade-off as long as their stock (or stock options) go up.
