Microsoft has alerted consumers that Netscape's latest browser appears
to break the XML rendering capabilities in Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
Dave Massy, a senior program manager for IE, warned users in a blog
posting that after installing Netscape 8, IE will render XML files as
a blank page, including XML files that have an XSLT transformation.
Microsoft did not make clear what versions of IE were affected, but a
user of the DeveloperDex forum said he experienced the problem on
version 6 of IE, which had been patched with Windows Service Pack 2.
Microsoft said it is investigating the problem and will work with
Netscape to resolve it. It advised a "workaround" of uninstalling
Netscape 8 and editing the registry settings.
One reader of the blog said the rendering problem could be a problem
with IE, rather than Netscape. He suggested that such a feature could
be useful for Microsoft as it would deter users considering a
migration from IE to Netscape.
But another reader, Chris Beach, came to Microsoft's defense. "Cue
endless conspiracy theories about Microsoft's 'dirty tactics.'
Honestly, the rubbish you (Microsoft) have to put up with...my heart
goes out to you guys. Keep up the good work with IE 7," he said.
This issue could be another blow to Netscape, which released Netscape
8 only two weeks ago. Just a day after launching Netscape 8 and
touting the browser's security features, the company released an
update to fix several serious flaws.
