Farewell Netscape, a once-powerful pioneer that's now largely irrelevant - smh.com.au - a somewhat brief opinion piece, which feels truncated. But the sentiment stands. Where is Netscape heading? Most people say it's headed straight for oblivion. But will people really just toe the Microsoft line? Well, yeah, unfortunately. If people could only buy one car - just one, and it wasn't exactly perfect - would they be happy? No. But people seem quite willing to make their businesses totally reliant on one single company's product. They're happy to make their home computer use the same software that everyone else uses - whether it actually suits their needs or not. All the while they're shelling out seriously big bucks for expensive software.
The browser might be free; but it is a big factor in Microsoft's domination of the personal computing world.
