Not quite as stable? I read that talkback data shows N6.1 to be more
stable than 4.x series. Lots of people using windows and Linux versions
say the same thing. Ad for N4.x having a few more features thna N6.1
it's quite misleading because it can also be argued that N6.1/Mozilla
have tons of features missing from N4.x. Best in class Standards
compliance, complex tables displaying speed, themes, cleaner interface,
superior address book, ability to check. comp[ose emails from multiple
accounts without having to reload another profile, multiple SMTP
support, AOL Mail/IM integration with Messenger (Netscape only), very
versatile Sidebar, Search from URL, Menubar, Sidebar, with Quick Launch
it launches in less tha a second (windows only), Powerful Cookie
management, multiple language support, Form Prefill (Wallet), very
strong password managing. I am sure we can go on and on and on. Some
things are not perfect but Moz is still not a released product. I am
sure XSLT, Math ML, etc etc will get better.
