CNet is owned by ZDnet. Therefore they had the exact same reviews of
Netscape 6.1, down to the very last letter. Don't hide behind
"Micro$oft" -- it makes your argument weak.

Switching skins has been very reliable for some time now, I think it's
about time you used recent builds and up to date information before flaming.
If you're referring to the original modern theme, the one that looked
like a "complete freakshow", that was in NS6pr1 then you are once again
painfully out of date. Modern (in its third version now) is the best
theme I've ever used in Mozilla.
Don't let your hate of the "whole skinning concept" cloud your judgement.
