  • Netscape (NASDAQ:NSCP) browser shares falls from 51% to 42% the first six months of this year, according to a study by IDC. Largest rival Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Internet Explorer holds 44% effective marketshare (including AOL usage). On its own, IE gains 5% to 28%. We think the loss of browser share somewhat softens Netscape’s “default” growth of its Website Netcenter. Netscape needs to be aggressive in bundling Navigator/Communicator to seed the future users for its Web efforts.
