No brick&mortar retailer has ever had so much venture capital to work with. Amazon was sustained to this point in large part because of the way in which it's stock was valued. For a B&M retailer, you have to start earning on your investment much sooner than Amazon did or else you'd have to file bankruptcy.
I think that for the sake of the economy, and just for gp, we should hope that soon many other.com's can say in honesty that they too are actually generating profit instead of hyping up their stock.
Did anyone make mention of AOL's user base and the ability they have to install software on a users machine with little to no intervention by a user?
Remember, AOL has 30+ Million members, and their software is more than cabable of down-loading and installing netscape without notification - effectively shifting a large portion of MS's installed user base to a different browser.
If AOL wins (is there is a question about this?) the judge can forget about "forward-thinking" solutions. Provided that they have Netscape up to spec technically, it will become instantly competitive.

Hell has finally frozen over... Good day.
