Abstract

Microsoft's Big Browser
Hedrick, Larry | December 28, 1998 issue

add to cart   close window

In the weeks before it went public, Netscape Corp., refused to split up the Internet browser market according to rules drawn up by the Microsoft Corp's chairman Bill Gates. Instead, it prepared to defend itself against Microsoft's assault with all the ingenuity a young start-up could muster from its employees. Although Netscape tried emphasizing other software and services, it was only a matter of time before the company was forced to accept the advances of a giant like America Online and cease to enjoy an independent existence. This tussle is part of a larger argument about Bill Gates's intentions and, indeed, his personality.
