What would you have them do, then? Netscape indicated that they didn't have
the resources to do native UI on more than one platform; their only options
were to do XPFE, go Win-only, or declare the browser a lost cause and drop
it completely. Unless you've got a few tens of millions of dollars to throw
their way to give them more options, try to recognize that deploying a
product on a limited budget means that not everyone is going to get
everything they want on the first try.
