How does it work anyway? I mean, how does Firefox make money? Are they paid per google search or something like that?
And, do they make money if I use forks of firefox and use Google on them?
And, what are the total number of active users for Mozilla and do the forks account into this count?
It was Bill hedging his bets. The antitrust case against MS was huge and scared them shitless. They had seen what had happened to Bell Telephone.
Yes, it allowed Apple to survive and become what it is today.
But, MS was not broken up.

Not even Microsoft. They sold off their Apple assets cheap and actually lost money with them
I wonder what was the bigger financial mistake, selling that stock, or Steve Ballmer as CEO.
Developers, developers, developers, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS (old Balmer meme)
Wasn’t it Ballmer’s big push for online services like cloud that allowed MS to grow so much beyond Windows?
Maybe, but their current CEO ran that division, so I’m giving him the credit, seeing as he also turned the whole company around once he became CEO.
