Why do you say it was a fiasco ? It seems to have worked as expected, browsers are much better than IE from those days due to competition.

You believe the (very public) inquiries had no effect on the market?

I don't - I think a better product came along, one that was aggressively pushed by the dominant search engine that swathes of the internet used each day (which is not in and of itself a good thing either, FWIW).

I don't remember any public inquires having any kind of effect. I remember Chrome being much better and people switching because of that.
