Re:Why though? (Score 1)

I agree. Mostly everyone, ever non-techie users, have heard of Netscape and surely they have heard of AOL. This could be good for Netscape. They do have quite an advantage over IE with more web standards compiliance, safer email client and browser (no ActiveX or VBScript macros), Netscape/Mozilla still is not integrated into the OS like IE, and Netscape runs on many platforms. MS IE runs on Mac OS and Windows but the Mac version is awful. I think that Netscape will thrive with an increase in IE and Outlook exploits. Do not get me wrong, Mozilla rocks and they are what I solely use but Phisbut has a point about their well-known name. One great thing is that Web Developers will not really have to worry about coding for a new browser since it is basically Mozilla 1.7. I installed Netscape 7.2 on my PC (Linux). My main gripe is that GTK2 and XFT support were not included in the build so pages look bad. I am looking forward to trying it out on Windows though.
