The release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer apparently has Netscape Communications Corporation (NCC) more than a little worried. After an amazingly successful IPO and with a current estimated market share of 80%, NCC and its extremely popular Netscape Web browser have dominated an increasingly important area of the Internet with little concern for competition...until now that is.
The coinciding release, integration, and onslaught of Windows 95, the Microsoft Network, and Internet Explorer means trouble for many of Microsoft's competitors, especially NCC and online services. Out of this scenario comes NCC's latest attempt at ensuring that the Netscape Navigator browser remains the most popular Web browser on the market.
