"What the heck is Mozilla", you ask? It's a long and somewhat sorted story about a ferocious marketing battle between the two computer and Internet giants, Microsoft and Netscape. It goes something like this: Microsoft introduces their Web browser (Internet Explorer) and starts giving it away for free. Netscape, fearing their product will lose market share and be crushed, releases the 'source code' for their browser (Netscape Navigator). This encourages thousands of programmers around the world to grab it, fix it, tweak it and make it better than IE. Mozilla was the secret code name given to Netscape's source code. Is the strategy working? Who's winning the war? Learn more at Mozilla.org.   Searching Beyond the Web   (Searching)    Can't find what you're looking for on the Web?
