You are an unabashed apologist. Nothing about that sentence is true:
- It was and is not even now the "right product".
- It did not deliver standards support nor much of anything else. Mainly it
just crashed and acted flakey when it wasn't crashing.
- The market was not, and is not now, clamoring for standards support. They
were clamoring for a better Netscape Communicator. They got nothing but a huge
dissapointment.

Replace "right product" with "Netscape 6.0" and we're in complete agreement.
