Well, don't know if they still are doing the work, but at one point, I also
had Solaris versions of IE/OE...
It's amazing, how if you read most of the complaints about specific things,
most of them aren't standards based...lack of ldap, it's buggy, slow, won't
load, won't start, etc.
Trees are beautiful, but don't forget about the rest of the forest. Tell you
what though, either Moz, or Netscape come out with a version of this browser
that beats 4.7.X in the areas *besides* HTML, and has things like LDAP and
secure mail, and I gurantee my next review will be one you want to hang on
your wall, and I'll be installing it will-nilly at my company.
But until then, you get ranted/carped/bithced/whined, pick your pejorative
at.
My advice, stop being so myopic on standards, and work on useability,
because Opera/Omniweb/IE/iCab are *royally* kicking NS/Moz heiny there.
