Well, I happen to know a few former Netscape engineers. From what I gather from them, many took the merger bonus and then left after the deal was completed.

I tend to think AOL bought NSCP to secure themselves as lead portal. I don't see why they'd need the browser as MSFT is certain to expand its lead while Netscape decreases its share. Cheers, Chi-X hath Spoken! "There shall be no tax loss, before ones' malox."
