The world's first commercial Web browser and arguably the launch pad of the Internet boom, will be leaving the web after a 13-year long run.Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, Netscape's current keeper, said it decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business.
Here's how an MSNBC.com report writes: AOL pulls plug on Netscape Web browser.
Netscape faded away from the competition as Microsoft's Internet Explorer and the freeware Mozilla Firefox dominated the web browser market. I'm sure MSNBC's sounding like a victor learning about and reporting this. MSNBC.com is a joint Microsoft - NBC Universal venture.;)
