Need more proof?

Quote:
At the time of the acquisition, the Netscape team had begun working on converting their flagship product - the Netscape Communicator web suite - into open source software, under a new name: Mozilla. AOL played a significant role in the launch of the Netscape 6 browser, the first Mozilla-based, Netscape-branded browser that was released in 2000 and continued to solely fund the development and marketing efforts of Netscape-branded browsers. In 2003, an independent foundation was created to support the continued development of the open source web suite. AOL was a major source of support for the Mozilla Foundation and the company continued to develop versions of the Netscape browser based on the work of the foundation.
From Netscape's archives.

Netscape was already in the process of becoming Mozilla at the time that they were acquired by AOL. AOL did not kill Netscape. The Netscape browser was already evolving into Firefox. It makes no difference who owned Netscape at the time. Netscape was already being phased out when AOL bought the company.

In fact, AOL kept Netscape alive as long as it could.

I find the history of the Internet fascinating.

If you like that sort of thing, Where Wizards Stay Up Late: Origins of the Internet by Katie Hafner is an excellent book. I highly recommend it.

oK so we can debat ethis but I can prove my case rather easily
look in your mahcine for any files named DBB nubmers then look at allthe service packs and updates that have been done ove the past 15 years to IE, I am not talking about the changes from IE 5.0 to the present IE 8 jsut the updates
Assuming you loook at just these you will see that IE has been upgraded and had more security patches than the OS itself,
The KBB files are not only update sto windowsw but the security patches for IE and there are way more of them than with other browsers if you uninstalled all the updates IE would nto even see the net
the only time Netscape wa shacked it took 12 powerful pc s and 3 months to do it.
Hackers as a general rule will only target the browser that will gain them the most access
current figures say that IE holds 82 percent of the market, firefox 10 and netscape 5 that leaves 3 percent for opera dn others there are currently about 15 browsers availible for download across the net and none of the others require you to update your security setting s every other day.

Sorry Tpneer2. That's not proof. You need to cite an outside, independent source to back up your claim that:

Quote:
Netscape was one of the first out there and they did not give up the AOL idiots who bought out Netscape in 2002 fired the entire team and they all went over to Mozilla and gave us firefox.
And now you are making even more claims without any proof. Please give us a link to the Web site where you are getting this information.

We're still waiting...

Agreed riopatrick. But we're still getting nowhere with Tpneer2. This is the second time I have had to request proof.

"...look in your mahcine for any files..." is not proof. Besides, I run on PCLinuxOS 2009. I would not have any of those files in my system.

Tpneer2 has made some assertions and now needs to back them up with solid evidence, not wild theories.

I have to agree with you in presenting a proof when saying something you don't know exactly.
