Maybe because only Netscape can takes the Shockwave and Real-Audio plus
in's, and the page has really bad HTML (notice the comment in the middle of
the page). "Technically pushed"? Take a look at
http://www.word.com/credits.html, try "Netscape Pushed". The last time I
checked it was HTML not NSML.
And with all of that said my little comment on Netscape: Breaking new
ground is one thing but having 85% of the market and destroying standards
that they themselves say they support sounds like an other company I know
that has a large market share in the OS department.
