Ouch... Ralph, DoJ, say what you will about Microsoft's tactics being illegal and immoral, just don't forget to add that they're also effective. Netscape's share of the browser market is down for the third quarter in a row, according to this InfoWorld article.
According to Dataquest, Netscape now holds 57.6% of the pie, compared to Microsoft's 39.4%. Compare that to last quarter: Netscape had 61.1%, Microsoft 35.3%. How about the quarter before that?

Baywatch Is On! (11/17/97) ...Not that popularity is everything. You know, it's funny, but just the other day we were sitting around talking about the difference between "best" and "most popular," and how often you see a stark disparity between the two, and then Dob Crabb goes and writes an article about that very concept, citing reader Barry L...
