Michael- I don't know that I'd characterize AOL eats Netscape as a fiasco. I think a lot of those departing employees were in the browser area and in sales and marketing. Few of those positions were a loss to AOL client assimilation or Netscape server marketing. Remember too that Sun took the Netscape server and blended it with their own product. Netscape server sales have good growth. Check out the Netcraft growth line compared to IIs (which is free?). Sun stopped relying on Netscape as a Java channel awhile before the acquisition. iPlanet is very much alive, very much Java, and AOL has 2,600 Sun servers in Virginia. :) -JCJ
