NS4 stunk, but that isn’t what sunk Netscape. Instead of making a good product, Netscape gave up and decided on a 5-year rewrite of Netscape, which then became Mozilla – not a particularly bright idea when you’re sinking. It seems you’re the one that’s out of touch with reality? Netscape Communicator 4.x is better than IE 4.x and 5.x? In what world? Communicator was slow, buggy, bulky and difficult to use. People complain about Job’s “reality distortion field”, but how MS keeps convincing people they’re really a poor underdog being persecuted by others is beyond me. “France drafts copyright law to open up iTunes” ( ) Apple is under scrutiny with their iTunes music store. Noone is exempt, and noone is picking on “poor Microsoft”. Last time I checked Apple had media software that it was using to put strangle holds on the rest of the industry. The issue isn’t the inclusion per se, rather the inclusion with the intent (or even unintended side effect) of killing off competition in the sector – it simply does not apply to Apple or Linux. It’s worth noting that Quicktime can be licensed by third parties for inclusion in their software. Apple with Quicktime aren’t even close to dominating the industry, otherwise they could expect the same treatment. Linux distros are bundling third party software, exactly what MS is preventing. Oh, I forgot, all the courts that convicted MS (about 50 so far : ) are just picking on them, right ?īut when Linux or Mac intigrates features in to their OS and bundles software that it is looked at as compition at it’s best. Why is it that when Microsoft intigrates features it is crushing the little guy.īecause they do, maliciously and intentionally wether it’s a small or a big guy, this has been proven by documentary evidence in a court of law.
