netscape & ie

Darryl,
For me the only reason Netscape losted share was the launch of Win95 with 
IE in it ...
A lot of people thinked : why download a new browser, we have already one 
with the OS

and don't forget, Netscape is not perfect, but it is the browser, why ? 
It's based on Mosaic ...
Just take a look at the license in "about" in both browsers ...

Cordially,
