Netscape has an excellent chance of regaining their dominant position in the browser space and will start being bundled with all the boxmakers again

That's possible, but only if Mozilla manages to make a great v5.0 browser. It looks like they're on their way to doing that despite the significant problems caused by the purchase of "cool" Netscape by "evil" AOL (speaking in net-head terms).

But here's a question: How, exactly, does AOL benefit by having Navigator included on desktops? They can't charge for the open-source browser that NS has vowed is to be free forever. Will the hope of having people stick to Netcenter be enough to get AOL to aggressively market Navigator 5.0?
