I agree. Of 6.4 million broadband customers in the US, approx 3.37 of them are connected via the @Home network.
Although, I read somewhere that @Home only gets like $15 per customer from the $40-50 you pay for monthly service. Could that be a contributing factor of their bankruptcy?
Being a Napster user, I like the service being free.. duh! Who doesn't want a free MP3 trading service? With Napster starting to charge, lots of people will be detered, because they don't want to pay for a subscription to pay for a subscription to download?
And how do they plan in setting this all up? I don't see how it'll work, but, that's their problem.
I agree with you totally. In previous verisons of Netscape (Netscape Gold 3, I believe), there was one place you could link to the website. Now, there's a button and other various locations throughout the browser. Being an Internet Explorer user at the moment, IE only sends you over directly to Microsoft's site when you go to Windows Update. Now, I'm not sure what the IE default homepage is. I wiped mine out first thing, but I think it was msn.com.
The only really way to avoid the Netscape and IE stuff is to go to Opera. But then again, they might be the same exact way. One way to find out.. try it.
