Hrm... I installed IE 6.0 SP-1 just this morning on my Windows 2000 Pro SP-3 box.... now all sites which use NT Authentication ask for NT Authentication over and over again. :-(
Update: ok, so normally, when doing NT Authentication, we'd leave all the fields blank (user, pass, domain), and IE would authenticate automatically with whatever I logged in as. Now, if I do that, it doesn't retain the authentication. HOWEVER, if I actually enter the info in, it keeps it. How sad! :-( This post was edited by shenan on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 at 08:59. |

| People didn't seem to push for web standards so much when it was Netscape that had the advantage. I remember pages coded to lock you out if you didn't use Netscape even if there was no technical reason to do so. The same double-standard as always. If someone else does it, it's ok, but if MS does it, even with good reason, it's a great injustice and must be stopped. Yeah, right. |

| :-) Sorry if I misjudged your post, beeyp, but my observation of the industry still holds true. |

A desktop monopoly has nothing to do with this discussion. Go troll somewhere else!
Netscape had above 80% market share back in the day. In those days pages were coded to Netscape. At that time where was the cry "be w3c compliant!"? I never heard it. The "air supply" quotation is only hearsay, first of all. Even if it weren't I'm glad Netscapes air supply was cut off. They made a horrible browser. It needed to change. Netscape was every bit as predatory with its browser monopoly as Microsoft was with its operating system. Just ask Steve Case what he thought after negotiations with Netscape. The issue is that Microsoft defeated Netscape's audacity and foolish business practices. |

I'll also add to Bob's comments that Netscape tried to cut off Microsoft's air supply first by saying they were going to replace the OS as the applications platform. They often showed demos of Communicator taking over the Windows desktop and acting as the native UI for the end-user. I'm sure, Realist, that you will be able to find some of the many threatening comments made by Andressen at the time.
Was Microsoft really expected to just sit back and do nothing while they faced the possibility of being supplanted? If Microsoft's competitors acted as MS did whenever there was a perceived threat (no matter how seemingly small), maybe more of them would still be competitive, or in business at all. In the end, Netscape, like virtually every one of MS' competitors, shot themselves in the foot by making bad decisions and thinking people would continue to use their product no matter how much better MS' product became. If there is one thing other companies could learn from MS, it is: Though you may be #1 today, that doesn't mean you can relax and do little/nothing, yet remain #1 in the future. |

| With millions of developer not writing w3c compliant code, perhaps there is something wrong with the standard. |

Bob,
Wasn't anything wrong with the Standard, it is just that the Standard wasn't moving fast enough. Frames, and the like just didn't exist. and the way that the standards bodies moved ti would be years later after the battle between netscape and MS and other companies back then. that staked their claim in the standards race. Now the reverse is true. HTML 4.0 is a superior standard as compared to html 3.2, yet the latter is the most supported standard. XHTML is the current standard and most browsers don't implement it well. I'd say it is more the process. Look at the standards for Web Services for example. IBM and MS have already released version one of 4 standards, as compared to the long drawn out process of Soap 1.2 But in the Long run you want the long drawn out standard. as that comes from necessity for interoperability. but from a company stand point you don't want interoperbility on a product. And the one thing that should be noted, it was Netscape and Sun that drove MS to integrated the browser with the OS. As an attack that they could replace windows on the desktop. Now you could say that it was MS that attacked Netscape etc and drove them out of business, but it was Netscapes business module to replace the Shell with the Netscape browser to give the same feel in the browsing and the local system. In the longrun the internet changed the business module of the OS. just as Multimedia and convergence with umbiqueous(sp) internet access will the OS over the next decade. El |

| I said that mostly in gest. I think I quite agree with you. |
