"Great browser..."
Netscape is awesome in comparison to IE. IE is has more security issues than Netscape. Netscape rarely ever crashes and isn't slow. When IE crashes though it brings down the entire computer with it. Netcenter is becoming a great web portal. Mail in Netscape is MUCH better than Outlook, or Outlook express... Especially sine you don't have to worry about viruses spreading to other via your address book. Netscape 6 is going to kick some butt. Just because Microsoft makes it, doesn't mean that it's a good product. We shouldn't be forced that have IE on our Windows computers.
