The first thing you'll notice about it is its high-tech, silvery appearance (which may or may not go with your current Windows color scheme) that foregoes traditional-looking Windows buttons and controls. You'll also spot a new customizable vertical toolbar called My Sidebar, which can display the latest news from CNN and give you quick access to Search, Stocks, News, and other tools. The latest release offers a streamlined interface, support for accessing multiple e-mail accounts, a password manager that can store user names and passwords for Web sites, a forms manager that can remember information entered into Web forms, full support for the latest Internet standards (including XML, CSS level 1, JavaScript 1.5, and DOM), same-time messaging integrated with browsing and e-mail, and support for designer skins (called themes). The small file you'll download here will let you choose exactly which components you wish to retrieve and install. This update focuses on the reported shortcomings of version 6.0, including a security hole in the way Netscape 6 handled Javascript embedded in e-mail. This most recent version fixes the "e-mail wiretapping exploit," in addition to offering enhanced stability.
