Mozilla did die, came back to life with Pheonix
Xine ( there are rumblings about its divx mp4 support) but nothing will
probably happen.
Gaim MSN and Yahoo seem to try to kill it off by being more of a pain in
the ass changing how there protocol works

they hide behind the fact it too damn expensive to sue some one over
seas there blanent use of 3rd party binaries dlls with out premission
