Actually, it’s not sad at all given Netscape has become irrelevant in recent years as usage as declined and Firefox has replaced it as the alternative to IE. It’s only sad because Netscape ruled the browser market once upon a time before allowing Microsoft to steal its thunder and most of its users.
So what does AOL do with Netscape now it has officially decided to walk away? How about selling the assets to Facebook, which should seriously think about launching the FBrowser in 2008? Netscape’s technology ain’t much to write home about given AOL has been ignoring it for far too long but it still has plenty of users.
Then again, if I were Facebook, I’d probably be more interested in buying Flock – aka the social browser.
