That's not anything Netscape or AOL would say--links please. We think
Netscape 6 is *better* than the Mozilla version it is based on: we have
added features and spent considerable time fixing stability bugs. But of
course a Netscape release is frozen in time while you can get
up-to-the-minute Mozilla releases which have additional features and bug
fixes (and additional bugs, too).

I believe Netscape is still recommending the 4.x series to its enterprise
customers, as several key features needed in that environment (e.g. LDAP)
are not yet in the Netscape 6 series.

Official Netscape is still mired in the closed-source secretive mindset. The
marketing folks do their best to obscure our future plans and generally will
say for certain only things which mozilla.org has already promised, even
going so far as to set up a closed parallel bug system to contain things
Netscape programmers should work on that they aren't ready to reveal in
public.

Did we? Links, please.
