And I've noticed you can't name one single meaningful advantage Netscape 6.21 has over IE 6.0 No killfilter on usenet? That is a big issue. High memory usage? That is a big issue. Abandonment of theme development on 6.2.1? Shitting on users Giving you a worthless version of Real Player? That is a big issue Having to register it? That is a big issue Mega problems with Communicator moving their settings to it? That is a big issue AOL refuses to use it on 7.0 when they could of? That is a big issue. And the fact it's been four years and STILL no 1.0 Mozilla version, and the roadmap continues to be moved back. And the fact more bugs are being found than fixed. It's taken the Mozilla folks four years and still not a full version of Mozilla yet. Another sneaky Netscape trick, it sneaks web.aol.com as a trusted site in MS Internet Explorer making it override your default settings for all sites. It's a sinking ship. Is Mozilla looking better? Yes. But it's too late.
