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.
