On November 24, AOL announced the acquisition of Netscape for $ 400 million in New York. The merger of the two companies took the form of a stock exchange where AOL bought Netscape’s WebCast, Navigator and Netscape eCommerce software on the World Wide Web. Sun Microsystems, meanwhile, is also involved in some transactions. Sun will jointly develop and sell e-commerce software with AOL over the next three years and make over $ 350 million in promotional advertising through AOL. In the next 2 years, we will purchase $ 500 million worth of network software from Sun. This transaction marks the beginning of reorganization of the Internet industry. According to media, this transaction means the initial formation of a “counter-Microsoft” axis will directly threaten Microsoft’s dominance in the software industry.
