Netscape did deserve what they got. Netscape was larger than MS at the time and got arrogant. You are suppose to silently build up your armed forces instead of announcing it to the enemy.

If you can tell us at what point you become a monopoly, you will always have work and be fabulously wealthy. The same will happen to Google.
