It Never Ends

I'll give Mozilla props and grant that it levels the playing field a little better. Netscape is owned by AOL, and what makes me laugh about anti-IE people is that they act like Netscape is the underdog. That's not true at all. If AOL follows through on their decision to make Mozilla their default browser, is that any worse than Microsoft bundling IE? If anything, AOL's internet software is an OS unto itself, so should AOL be including Windows Messenger and Internet Explorer as well? And while plenty of computer literate people use Windows, how many truly computer literate people use AOL? Moreover, AOL isn't Red Hat or some little 10 man linux company. AOL-Time Warner is only about half the size of MS in terms of capital, and about twice the size of MS in terms of employees. [John Beeler]
