Yes, Netscape a SMALL company. Not now, but at the time that M$ would have made a strategic decision to target them, which would have been sometime in 1995. Remember that Netscape only had revenues of $80.7 million in all of calendar 1995, which WAS their FIRST full year of production. They have grown explosively since then--their 3rd quarter 1996 revenues were $100 million--but at the time that Micro$oft took a strategic decision to try to crush them, Netscape had yet to have a single profitable year. It will be interesting to see how the struggle for the Internet plays out.
