i think it's a valid question. netscape went from total market domination to nothing in a few years. granted MS pulled from under handed moves to make it happen that would be a LOT harder to do this time around, the scene is set the same. google innovates and takes market by storm, MS puts out a few non starters, eventually refines it's product to take the lead.

I remember buying Microsoft's Internet Starter Kit in 1996.
It came with a handsome paperback book and a useful bundle of software, and sold directly for about $10-20.
Bundling IE with AOL was another smart move. Integrating a look-alike - work-alike - e-mail client and a browser into the Windows consumer product was a logical progression that made perfect sense to the user.
