"It's an interesting move on their part. We're glad that Netscape is following
our lead," said Dave Fester, group product manager for Internet Explorer. 
Fester said that Microsoft expected that Communicator would become free, 
but was caught by surprise on the source-code announcement. 

"By offering complete source code, who will support it? How easy will it be
to modify?" Fester said.

So Microsoft will learn a lesson on the power of free software :-)

Free software will be great.
