This is my personal opinion. Xerox is just being a butt about things. It is a great technology that should be shared not kept specificly to one company. I know that 3com may have broken some legalistic agreement but it just doesnt seem to make sense. The usefulness of the Palm Pilot is amazing! I also dont know why Xerox did not sue Handspring, with the visor or lots of other companies that make the same thing.
A very odd occurance is that AOL users use ie4 or 5 if they upgraded. Netscape is not built into aol at all. However there was some sort of Netscape and AOL merger. Still the only reason would use IE than netscape would be that it is preloaded on to Windows (for you newbies), and that it kinda has a sleek look to it,(AHEM!). People will still be using MSIE 4 for a long long time, say 4 years is my estimate. These would be the non-geeks.
