The part I love is when they say "converting original ideas into software products". They do not really do that. They buy (or steal) software from other firms and then coerce them into signing contracts with non-disclosure clauses so they can CLAIM it is their own work. . .

Well, they did do a ground-up rewrite of the mosaic code for their second release of Internet Explorer - something that would be a vast improvement if Mosaic were to do the same, especially with modern considerations and security.

There are still bugs in Mozilla that I recognise from very early releases of Mosaic.
