Not much to add only to say that I've used Yahoo, MSN and Google. After using Copernic over the last several months, I've made it permanent as I've found it to be significantly superior for my needs.
Do you think it will have the staying power against the more well known competitors or possibly meet the same fate as Lookout Software and simply be acquired by a bigger name?
Good question. The simple answer would be that Apple has about 2% market share worldwide. As an end user... I LOVE their hardware and software. If Copernic ends up with 2% of the market, I could say the same.
The difference is obviously that Apple tends to be very profitable (even without the iPod) at 2% of the market. Copernic probably can't do that so your point is well taken. Not sure who would buy them at this point as all the potential buyers I can think of already have their own solution.
For now... I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
