Netscape - P45

vuturevsNetscapeAndrew Orlowski the Register's resident bigot from San Francisco writes about the demise of Netscape, and the 'other browser' in today's edition of the Register. Increasingly Orlowski uses his column to vent prejudice and the final phrases of today's article '....Microsoft's miserable excuse for a web browser - a sorry piece of code ....' illustrates this perfectly. It is no accident of CD-ROM production, or the fact that it's distributed with every copy of Windows, that IE outstrips the usage of every other browser known to man or geek by by at least an order of magnitude, it's just IT WORKS, and the others at various times DID NOT.
The story really should have stayed in the realms of business and what AOL-TW failure to support the development of the browser in either it's open source form properly or in it's commercial version at all....why?
