Carmine, "stole" because of greed would be my description of the situation. Gates is the type of guy that causes revolutions, etc. I remember when IBM AT people ridiculed me with my Mac, calling it a toy - icons, mouse and all.... then Billy boy realized that it was GOOD... and then he hired the best lawyers money could buy to crush Apple in their court case after he had copied (stole?) the Mac interface for his Windows.... O.J. did the same and got away with it with his sleazy lawyers... There was a time that I admired Mr. Gates, but now I think that power has corrupted him. Netscape deserves justice here, and I hope that the gov't is able to stop Microsoft's attempt to crush (or steal) all new ideas and competition. All the best, Don Corleone

Carmine, I still don't get it. What are you asking??? Did they "steal" the browser?? I doubt it. They don't really have to. Just a few short years ago though Bill Gates promised he would never have anything to do with the Internet. And now here we are. His vision must of hit him a little late on this one.
