Folks on this list, probably zero.  For kiosks, internet appliances,
plug-in-a-box-for-grandma, it could have been great.  The AOL client
as a mozilla plug-in was awesome technically - running rings around
the windows client in terms of performance and just general quality.
Unfortunately, the handful of guys working on that (friends of mine)
couldn't really compete with the political muscle of the 200+ person
windows team.
