Yeah because Open Source browsers would really stand a chance there. Sure admittedly Mozilla would be popular enough to get a publisher/have enough money to self-publish... but lets say a new guy has a breakthrough browser... and lets say they want to charge for it...

Not enough money for a CD distribution?

Sucks to be you.

The only reason why we broke free of buying browser CDs was because AOL mailed versions to us and the other ISPs needed to compensate by giving disks of Netscape Navigator or whatever... then Microsoft jumped in with Internet Explorer.
