IE is dieing! Netscape 6 was built using an open-soruce meathod, and is said to be the most compatible browser the world has ever seen! With AOL dropping IE for Netscape in it's next build, i'm use we can finally see the end to crap ol IE.

I prefer IE4 and above to Netscape 4 and above. If Netscape 6 is an improvement over IE Ill use it, but for now IE loads pages faster for me and has less problems handling Java.

I agree Falck. Also, atleast in the current state, IE provides more functionality than NS. Oh, but there is that very anoying tag. What a great concept.

I just wish they'd get along and end the battle over propritory tags. It really make web design a bitch.

Too bad Netscape does not use ther same HTML the real world uses. I can not believe the crap Netscapre gets away with... cariage returns acting as white space, etc. You must go through so many hoops to get Netscape to work correctly.

IE has its little HTML bugs too, but nothing compared with "the good guys."

I used to like netscape a lot but obviously its latest 4.x versions are way behind IE in terms of HTML rendering speed and stability. I don't really now how good NS 6.0 will be. I've tried the Mozilla betas, the HTML rendering is obviously very good but the new GTK interface seems slow as hell. And it looks really strange under Windows.
I'm an open source supporter and I'd like the Mozilla team them to succeed but I think it's a little early to say that IE is dying.

Used to use Netscape, I like some of the features of IE like the full screen view in 1024x768 for some serious web browsing. I noticed all that crap NS Composer puts in when you make HTML. I usually end up doing them by hand. Hmm... Microsoft or AOL? Two evils I say.
