AOL Lays Off 50 Netscape Coders

Posted by timothy on from the but-mozilla-is-resilient dept.

xcable points out a CNET story which begins "America Online on Tuesday said it has laid off 50 employees involved in Web browser development at its Netscape subsidiary amid a reorganization of its Mozilla open-source browser team," and offers a reminder that "AOL recently made a deal with Microsoft to use IE in future AOL releases." This adds a bit more detail to yesterday's (updated) story about the establishment of the Mozilla foundation.

    I guess my point wasn't clear enough. How many users of Windows these days know enough to realize the ftp command line program exists, let alone to know how to use it? Hell, for that matter, how many Windows users realize that there is a world beyond point-and-click? I'd wager a very, very tiny percentage.
