No More Netscape?

No More Netscape? I haven't used Netscape since Navigator 3.0, but I tend to always root for the under-dog. The only thing I know is that I know nothing. Socrates

Yeah, the "institution" Netscape is no more. The fleetingness of life in the 21st century.

sighist | Agile Programming | doxygen:(( I still remember Netscape 0.9. It was a pretty good browser back then. Heck, I even liked the clunky (then very modern) Motif UI. Luckily, Mozilla will live on. -- I am on fire. Do you need a light?

AOL basically killed it... My question is why do you buy a company to kill it when it is not a competitor?? I could fully understand if MS bought it. But why did AOL never include it as their browser and instead us IE? Does Bill Gates own AOL?? John

I see it this way… The DOJ would NEVER allow MS to buy Netscape. Never in a million years. Here comes a side deal… MS Convinces AOL to buy Netscape and put on a show to the rest of us like they are trying to threaten MS. AOL 'sees the error of their ways' and HAS to close Netscape to cut losses and announces that they are standardizing on the MS browser. What a deal… I wonder how much the lunch costs where this deal was made….. What's next? MS convinces Borland to Buy Java from SUN? :)

Wasn't it part of the $750M settlement MSFT and AOL made?
