1.	We support what remains of Netscape, in the last few days we've done a lot of quick work to connect our innovations with theirs. But despite Netscape's mostly noble efforts, it's largely a one-browser world now, and we believe, based on experience that that means that not much interesting will happen in the future in the browser. The Web is what it is, not much more will happen. I'd love to be wrong about this, but that's how I'm betting.
2.	We support Netscape in the hope that it will stimulate Microsoft to do some developer-driven stuff with MSIE. And in the last piece I called for the removal of MSIE from Microsoft to create a once-again competitive market, but these are both just attempts to bring back competitiveness. Neither of them are sure to do it.
3.	But desktop apps are a whole other story. It's a virgin playing field. I am confident that patents won't play a role here because UserLand has already released a beta of the key breakthrough in this area. We have not (at this time) filed a patent application with the USPTO. We may still do it, we have a year from the release of the software to file. A lot of this depends on how the patent conversation evolves on the Web.
