No more Netscape and Internet Explorer...

Hi

While it's sad news to hear about the "demise" (i.e. "killing off") of Netscape Navigator, it's a bad long term strategy on Microsoft's part. One of the reasons Netscape Navigator became so popular was because it was FREE. Then Microsoft did the same and bundled it with the Operating System, and people gradually stopped using Netscape.

I suspect Microsoft are going to try charging for it again in the near future. If they do, someone else (like Opera) will simply step into the arena big time, offer their browser for FREE, and we'll have Browser Wars II on our hands!

In fact, all it takes is one Mark Joyner type to come up with a way of offering a browser for free, getting it promoted virally (like StartBlaze) and making money out of it at the same time - and Microsoft will once again have competition on their hands. And they're not quite used to that, are they? ;-)

In the meantime, you might want to look at Opera as an alternative. I'm not connected to the company, just a happy user. I have IE, Opera AND Netscape on my computer and I can genuinely say that Opera is the quickest.
