> In a slide that lists reasons why browser share is
> important, Maritz made the following points:
> "[Web] pages become applications."
> "Netscape/Java is using the browser to create a
> 'virtual operating system.'"
> "Windows will become devalued, eventually
> replaceable?"
> He went on to assess Microsoft's weaknesses,
> including the fact that company had "no control
> over Java." The first item listed under "product
> strategy" reads, "Catch Netscape 2.0, neutralize
> Java." To do so, Maritz proposed using IE 3.0,
> its ActiveX component architecture, and the Java
> support and tools the company would produce in
> the coming months. "Java cannot be an
> advantage for Netscape," he wrote.
