Not to take anything away from Netscape, I do think there was interesting technical things happening with that browser, but the company never made money. I would go as far as to say their 'real' product was an avenue to attack Microsoft - not the browser they made. They got a lot of money by positioning themselves as an anti-Microsoft vector, had a huge IPO as an unprofitable company during the dot com boom, successfully entrapped Microsoft in an anti-trust case, then got acquired by AOL. Of course I'm not a billionaire and I don't doubt it took a lot of skill to earn that money. I'm just not sure those are the same skills you need to build a profitable business or useful product.
