>>41Ah, good question. As I explained in my rant, I think it was probably out of desperation. What you suggest seems like a reasonable strategy, yes, but keep in mind that's what caused the end for Netscape--and for a bunch of other companies like Microsoft, even. The difference is that Netscape, like Mozilla, only had one product. Part of the reason why Mozilla tried (and failed) to diversify with projects like FirefoxOS. Also why they do a lot of charity work, to secure their place as a nonprofit organization and thus a fraction of their donorbase.
