If you put more people on it, it slows down the project. This is a big battle, big opportunity, but sort of every few years, a battle comes along where it s if I could say Windows against the world. I don t want to be over confident, but I sure felt a lot weaker when it Windows versus IBM and OS2. Well, I don t like that war metaphor at all.

I think there s a huge market here, both of us will prosper, I think, greatly. It remains to be seen how significant the Netscape-Microsoft battle will turn out to be. The battle s not completely joined. There may be somebody hiding in a garage somewhere who comes in with something completely unexpected, and we discover that the battle between Microsoft and Netscape was just the side show, and the main event is yet to come. In the meantime, software designers for both Netscape and Microsoft are closeted in their cubicles staring at their monitors far into the night and pounding out the next versions of Navigator and Explorer, both of which are due before the end of this year.
