Is Netscape ready to leave the browser world? Netscape is now part of the AOL-Time-Warner megacorporation, and if comments by company officials are any indication, we may see an end to Netscape being an active participant as a browser supplier.
Consider these comments from Netscape President Jim Bankoff, made to the Reuters news organization:
“The browser is a crown jewel. However, six months from now, you won't consider Netscape to be a browser company,” he said. Instead of continuing the battle against Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Netscape will instead focus on developing Netscape Netcenter as a Web portal, incorporating content from other Time-Warner publishing outlets.
While you will still see parts of Netscape browsers being incorporated into distinct tools designed for vertical markets, such as a version for the Sony Playstation 2, the company will not be actively focusing on browser development, officials said. Instead, AOL officials were negotiating with Microsoft to continue using IE as the browser of choice for AOL, while other alternatives, such as “Komodo,” were under consideration. Komodo technology would let the AOL service be used by any Web browser. AOL's choice would reverberate throughout the Internet, as AOL currently has 29 million users: an enormous block of users that would be impossible for any Web developer to ignore.
