Not suprising at all.

1. Since Win95 OSR2, IE has come standard. Netscape you have to go
get.

2. How many people will tolerate a 15MB download over a 56kb
connection?

3. Since AOL bought Netscape, many of their developers left. It was
far too long for Netscape 6.0 to come out, when it finally did, it
was a buggy mess. Took another bunch of time before Netscape 6.x was
usable.

4. Now, almost 4 years later, it is sort of "what's netscape"?

5. Many of the people that did have Netscape, and it was probably
4.x, have all replaced their systems (about a 3 year life span). Once
you get a new system, it has a browser so why bother getting another
one (see number 2)?

6. IE 5.0 worked better than Netscape 4.x did. Even people that don't
like Microsoft and used Netscape as a statement for not being for the
evil empire wained in the frustration of using a browser that had
issues.

Is there anything I am missing?
