Keith, Netscape has been no more disadvantaged than Symantec/ Norton, McAfee, AOL, or anybody else. Are you aware that Symantec's Norton has 5 titles in the top ten best-selling Windows business software programs for Feb. 1998? Source: PC Data, as printed in June 98 Windows Magazine. Why isn't Netscape in there? CyberMedia has two titles in the top ten for Feb 98, Microsoft has two, and McAfee has one. The fact is, Netscape can whine all they want, but Microsoft obviously doesn't sell all the software out there, or anything close. MSFT does dominate the OS space. That's good, they earned it by producing a superior OS for a very reasonable price. Now re Whoever said that Netscape ever had any plan to compete in the OS arena? Then they simply have to design a better browsing utility, and then maybe they can start getting "top ten" titles like Symantec. The fact is, I believe that Netscape has had Navigator in the top ten, probably for months on end. If they work hard enough, maybe they can get it back up there in the top ten list for awhile.
