Does anybody find it highly amusing that Adobe, who in truth, controls
almost 90% of streaming video via Flash and 75% of the digital

about Silverlight being potential competition?

Talk about the pot caling the kettle black. :)

Tell that to Netscape, the one time dominant browser.

At one time the ONLY browser until Microsoft developed Windows 3.0.
Unfortunately, Andreessen was a horrible businessman and couldn't
compete.

This is a case that relates back to Eisboch's earlier comment about
Left/Right. Andreessen wanted the government to solve his problem for
him.

Nature of competition - he got punked and badly.

And I say that as a early adopter of Mosiac and Navigator which was a
great browser - no doubt about it.
