AOL eventually to use Netscape's browser

AOL bought Netscape to gain an advantage by integrating the features of its portal with the browser, something that Netscape's been doing with its Netcenter portal. This would allow AOL to move back to being a proprietary, fee-based online service... something MSN tried and failed at. Interestingly, there will be little for Barksdale and Andressen to do, once AOL takes over... Time to set up a Mozilla based startup? In related news, Sun's McNealy disputed Microsoft's claim that the Sun-AOL-Netscape deal changes anything about the DOJ court case. Update I wonder what all this will do for newhoo, and Red Hat, both of whom have received Netscape investments.
