its because ven though supposedly it targeted to developers, they still
want it available for end users like me and others who are willing to
test. But, still take their comments, suggestions, bug reports, and RFE
worth a grain of salt for the most part. Though some might consider the contribution.
Actually I would like to see Mozilla become a standalone product with a
different feature set with say ICQ in place of Instant messenger or
another ICQ/AIM type product. It could leave out other stuff as pre
packaged Stuffit and RealPlayer as in Communicator.
That way you could have a virtually no frills version call Mozilla.That
has just the mail and news client and the browser. Or a fully Packaged
version with every feature imaginable in Netscape.
