Netscape ins't the issue. It's Micro$oft's monopolistic practices. Some 
people smell something fishy with Micro$oft's "embrace" of open source. 
Some don't. I'd rather play it safe and not trust Micro$oft. Their past 
monopolistic actions (some of which they have been convicted for) make it 
reasonable to do so.

God bless!
