Interesting documentary about the first days of the Mozilla project.
Few things jumped (back) to mind :
- Microsoft was beeing sued for making a free product. Oh...the irony.
- Netscape Navigator was pretty crappy compared to IE (4). Using IE4 in Win98 was a MUCH better experience than using Netscape.
- try to imagine the browser landscape today if Ms wouldn't have abbandoned IE after winning the Netscape battle.
- kind of ironic to see that a corporation opened the code to save itself, failed to do so (AOL buy Netscape sealed the deal) but , years later, there is a company which makes money from Netscape's code (yeah..i know....most of the code is rewritten but you get the point).
