Soon, Andreessen was off to California for an $80,000 tech job. Then, with Silicon Graphics Inc. founder Jim Clark, he co-founded Mosaic Communications Corp., as if they were authorized to build the commercial edition of the university's Mosaic program. He and Clark ransacked NCSA talent to release the Mosaic Netscape browser. (After a legal dispute

That is a wild mischaracterization of why netscape was successful and wht they did. They didn't port NCSA's code to Windows. NCSA's code already RAN on Windows, Andreessen wrote a bunch of that code, and, as I said, netscape didn't use that code.
