Netscape DQ

Q Let’s use the Browser Wars case to think about an alternative history for Netscape by focusing on three questions: 1) What is the biggest cost / inefficiency / practice to make it hard for Netscape to compete? 2) What is the single biggest opportunity that Netscape overlooked or should have pushed? 3) Can you imagine a world in which Netscape partners with Microsoft (or some other big player) to survive as a for profit entity?

There are lots of good (and equally valid) approaches to these questions and – if you squint – you can almost see a version of events where Netscape comes out ahead. Use these questions to shape that alternate history.
