<nitpick> replace "The ONLY reason" with "One of the reasons". From a user perspective, later releases of IE4 were "better" than NS4.x in several ways, primarily stability.

They would not have achieved total market dominance, nor risen to market leader, as quickly as actually happened, but with IE4 out there, Netscape would not have held on to the 85% (or whatever) market share they had. </nitpick> -- gav
