>Netscape was left with no viable business plan. So? 99% of the internut IPOs in the last 3 years never had a viable business plan to begin with! Everyone at netscape got what they wanted- they got rich. Barksdale became a billionaire, and Andreesen is a hundred-millionaire..

>>>What Barksdale & Company failed to capitalize on was the Netscape website. <<<< 100% correct! Sitting at the top righthand corner of everybody's browser was a gold mine that netscape failed to mine. But hindsight is 20/20. --Olu E.

I had a chance to read a little more of Jackson's decision after a bunch of it was published in papers around here. First of all, some are saying Jackson is the second judge selected, somewhat of a msft "sweetheart" judge - know anything about that? I don't remember the beginning of the trial. I think Gates and co. took a deliberate smug and obstructionist stance throughout the entire trial and it backfired on them. They thought they could get away with it after Reno's first ruling in 1995 which was really wishy washy. But that was before the whole netscape/boxmaker fiasco.
