Agreed 110%. They've been behind open source and
alternative platforms for along time.

Yes I have. With no reply :-(

Umm .. that's a bit onerous. I do not have the time or
inclination to join a mailing list for each product
I use. I'd never get anything done and my
mailbox would overflow.

Fortunately IE does not run on Linux.
My own whinges about Netscape 6.0 is that by their own admission
they've introduced heaps of bugs, and removed features we've
become accustomed to using.
Sounds like a re-write from the ground up.
It really saddens me, since I'll be sticking with a
dead-end version (4.7). And yup, I know of poeple sticking with
Netscopae 3.1, since that was a good, usable, unbloated
stable version.
