It pains me to report this, but AOL is killing Netscape, ending the browser war that began seven or eight years ago when Microsoft launched Internet Explorer. On the heels of a settlement with Microsoft, AOL is, in a mass layoff, terminating the Netscape project. It did, however, provide two million dollars of seed money to the open source Mozilla project, which will continue with the Mozilla Firebird browser. Development will be taken over by the Mozilla foundation. Former Netscape staff are now posting to ex-mozilla.org. See Edu_RSS for continuing coverage as new developments unfold.
