What don't you understand, the part about "voting" or the fact that 
Microsoft wishes to buy out Netscape.. To save them the time and trouble 
of beating them.. Want a real opinion..
You have 16 megs or less of memory right, must be you're using Netscape..
I know some people using 16-32 megs love Netscape, Java and all that 
shit.. Nothing special.. Ok cool in some points.. I tell you it's one 
thing for one browser to have something great, but what's the point if no 
one uses it.. I've seen sites, they suck.. Yes some cool sites too.. But 
a browser for 100 of the 36,600,000 sites out there.. You gotta be 
kidding.. 
I'm MSIE forever now.. Ni Netscape.. Fun at the beginning, say goodbye in 
the next year... Billy has money to blow to kill you. If I were him, I'd 
spend a lot more, like another 10 billion. Kill Netscape and then who 
owns the NET... :) (Yep, BILL)




: I don't understand the point to this. Netscape has appx. 80% of the browser market
: and they've written a piece of windows code that runs better than even
: Microsofts best efforts.

: Are you trying to see maybe who has the venerable title of second best browser ?
