In Microsoft scoffs at antitrust extension seekers
Isn't 80% or more of the market considered to be a monopoly? Netscape "monopolised" the browser market but this is apparently fine. A competitor comes along and gets slammed as anti-competitive, and the original 80% dominator falls by the wayside to what is essentially an inferior product (yes, inferior to IE. Suck those sour apples.)
If there were a dozen or more players in the field, and one of them had a huge chunk like Netscape had...fair enough. But when you're the only horse in town, you shouldn't be too surprised when you win all the horse races, as all the recent commentators seem to be in regards to Netscape's tumble.
