Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison said an industry conference in Paris that its sometime-ally Netscape has "no chance of surviving." Predicting that Netscape's Navigator Web browser was doomed, Ellison said that "there will be no such thing as a browser in a couple of years," because browsers will have been replaced by central servers that will supersede current searching and messaging software. Netscape executives have suggested that Ellison is hoping to talk down the price of Netscape in preparation for a takeover attempt. (Financial Times 3 Oct 96)
