Re: Warning about Netscape 7 Preview

Heheheheheh!

It DOES sound like that, doesn't it? I have no connection with the Mozilla
team at all, other than I stumbled across their work almost three years ago
and have been a part of the beta team since then, reporting errors as I came
across them. I have to admit that with ONE exception (where Mozilla
interpreted the code **BY SPEC** and ALL other browsers fudged it), I've not
found anything really wrong with the browser's handling of pages. Most bugs
I found were in how it interacted with the OS, and as others have mentioned,
most eloquently by Elizabeth Davies, the Windows OS is rather a joke in
coding circles... It's pretty and in my experience at least, XP is pretty
stable, too, but I've heard of other OSs that are even better. Too bad I've
not found a flavor of LINUX I really like yet that can run the software I
need it to...

If Mozilla ever needed a spokesperson...

DING!

Exactly, Darrell! Why WOULD anyone want a spyware-enhanced, AOL-bloated
browser (that weighs in at about 26-30MB for the Windows version), when the
EXACT SAME THING (including the controls and look) can be had directly from
the source, without all the excess BS AOL seems to think is "necessary" --
the source being Mozilla 1.0 at www.mozilla.org. It's been HEAVILY beta
tested by the open-source community, so this "1.0" browser is on-par with
the "6.x+" browsers from the others... Benefits: 1/3 the size of Netscape 7,
does everything Netscape does (except crash your registries and add a
zillion software programs you don't want or have better versions of already
OR add "AOL" icons to your desktop, start menu, favorites, and your dog's
flea collar), and you can download the ZIPfile, extract it, make a shortcut,
and KEEP THE WHOLE THING CONTAINED WHERE YOU WANT IT, without having stuff
strewn all about your folders... Screw Netscape/AOL. Support Mozilla.

Just my (heavily-biased) 2c...

Why use Netscape when Mozilla is available?
