: "Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message .. . In Netscape's case, the competition didn't "improve." They stole proprietary code and used massive personnel resources to get it to market before the smaller company. Who cares? I use wahtever works best and that's still mozilla for me.. That was a dark week. I was there the day they came in and told a bunch of the engineers that AOL was integrating their software (Instant Messenger), which was the harbinger. They knew it was a matter of time before AOL merged with Netscape. It all went downhill from there, which is how there's Firefox. 'Course, I hear the new Internet Explorer has many of the internal and external features of Firefox. I wouldn't expect people in Europe to understand how that sort of thing happened in terms of web browsers, word processors, spreadsheets and other "Microsoft products" that bear striking resemblances to former competitors. Yeah, they're still using two tin cans and piecs of string there. Well, more importantly, they don't have exposure to the Silicon Valley or Seattle scuttlebutt that you find on the West Coast as technology types shift jobs and interact over time. I think you might find that they do. Bertie |
