In addition to this subject, funny quote from wired.com:
"... Linux-friendly Netscape Navigator, its market share in steady decline, 
holds a precarious 12 percent. That could be because Netscape was crushed by 
an illegal monopoly. Whatever. Those are the facts. Konquerer, an open source 
browser, doesn't even track market share figures."
