re please tell me what you think Netscape's vision of the future has been that you seem to think is myopic. Sure, Keith. Netscape failed to see that browsing is actually an OS function, and as browsing became wildly popular, browsing was destined to become part of the OS. And MSFT doesn't sit on their hands - they have constantly improved the OS. So Netscape failed to heed that old Silicon Valley word to the wise - Never drive your business too close to Microsoft - You're sure to be either driven over or gobbled up. -GG- And us consumers benefit. Sounds brutal, but tell me: would you rather go back to DOS 5.0? Or DOS 4.0? Or a 9" black and white MacIntosh screen? Technology is about innovation and improvements, all for the consumer's benefit.
