Thanks for the constructive points. What I mean is that, since Netscape 6.5 will be based on Mozilla 1.0, then releasing it with such ugly bugs as the minimize-restore and the reloading of view source is not quite a very good idea. With these issues Moz is certainly not ready for public consumption - it doesn't matter whether it's branded as Netscape or used as Mozilla. I guess that's what I meant by "ready for the market." It is true that it has "gone to market" even if it is not yet "ready for the market", and this has hurt Mozilla more because of the unnecessary negative public perception it created. We can undo this by releasing a really good 1.0. Regards, Bamm
