Netscape Plans Java-Only Version Of Web Browser techweb.com There doesn't seem to be anything really new here, but I post Netscape news when I see it. "There's a real movement behind Java," said one analyst, who noted Java has more momentum and industry support than other Windows alternatives in the past such as IBM OS/2 or Macintosh. "But we're in the beginning of the learning curve." Cheers, Dan.

Netscape Concedes To Streaming Needs Server techweb.com Does that parse? If they made it Streaming Server Needs, it would parse better and rhyme too. Until recently, Netscape Communications downplayed streaming video as irrelevant to its enterprise customers. Not anymore.

Only because this refrain seems to be straight from the MS haters camp and not from unbiased reflection. For instance name some new product categories that have emerged in the last 10 years or so. There are some but not that many. The article you posted on the industries history was very interesting because it pointed out that most of the successful companies copied something successful and then worked to improve on it. I think that someone would be very naive (OT - Evian water is naive spelled backward - there may be something to that) to state categorically that Microsoft is not innovative and company X is. I think in many cases you could figure out what concepts they borrowed and where they made improvements. I don't think that this is bad it is just the way science works. We all stand on the sholders of those that did the work before. Larry...
