Sal, I was actually going to write to this Tebbe guy after reading his column. That's one point of view, but I think the stuff about the Netscape browser fragmenting is overstated. There will still be a standard distribution, as there is now. If corporations want a uniform, stable version, there will be one. Plus, Nav is always going to be an application, different versions can coexist peacefully and it's not going to mess up anybody's operating system, or crash anybody's machine. Unlike some "browsers". The source thing is a gamble, but a worthwhile one I think. Of course, I'd agree with Jesse that Netscape should stay independent. I have no idea if the realities of modern market capitalism will allow that, though. Think it's a race to capture the code base before it's set free? Cheers, Dan.
