From Nua Internet Surveys Weekly Editorial

"...the battle between the two companies wasn't just about dramatic improvements in browser software. The war was also important because it mirrored the way the Internet changed from a warm, friendly community to a cut-throat world in which only the strong survive and prosper. "

Netscape has now reached a Mac-like low in numbers. I'm sad for Mozilla, but still dreaming that 4.7 disappears from the face fo the planet.

Once MS gained dominance the browser became just another commodity item, a bland product that works "good enough" for its users but still causes development issues for those who want to "do the right thing".

What features have come along since '99? Improved standards compliance, but if everybody develops for IE, there's not much point.
