We are working hard to create features and services you want in Netscape 7.0. Netscape 7.0 PR1 is a pre-release version for users to test and provide feedback.

Are the 2000 people currently using 6.2 going to rush out and get it?

I nearly passed my peanut butter sandwich through my nose. Thank you - my day was waaaay too serious before.
I've been having IE problems on one of my computers (time to wipe everything and reinstall) so I've been using NS 6 for some of my surfing. It's really disappointing to see how awful it is in comparison to the M*crosoft product.
still the same rendering problems, especially when the content is javascript
generated the style is not used :(
Can't say I am all that excited!
Guess I'll spot stuff with use..

Nick, do you use just Linux or Windows, too?
I wonder if this is the version that AOL is supposed to be using when they switch over. That would be dandy, NS with AOL's special file compression format to boot.

Some will like the Download Manager. I have no use of it.
The improved bookmark management is good.
I think it loads and renders faster than NN6 too.
I like it. But Opera is still my favorite browser.
Nick, do you use just Linux or Windows, too?
Just Linux. Only use Win to test in IE and always feel like washing my hands afterwards Ugggh!
After an hour or so of using it I reckon it's quite an improvement, it definately renders quicker and has a 'cleaner' feel to the tools and menus, slightly smaller and neater looking?
Nick
Is there much improvement over NN4.7 ??
I never upgraded to 6 or 6.2 because it was...well....crap :)
Is it worth the upgrade ? anyone ??

drops gazillions of shortcuts icons on desktop
Yep - I'm still deleting all of 'em...
It also seems to have a better understanding of em unit values...
Before I knew of the upgrade this morning I was testing them on 6.2 ::
From version 6 : yes, defenitly.
From version 4.7 : yes, defenitly. But install it away from your existing Nestcape folder in order to keep NN 4.7
It's good stuff.
No matter how simply we design things and how careful we are, 4.7 always jacks up our pages.
4.7 is my nemesis.
I will give it a try and see if it is up to the job ;)

Of course I was slightly exagerating. I counted 8 on desktop and 4 in taskbar. Installed on a Win 98 'win and browsers only' "E" partition.
It's just 13 icons too many...

Ah yes, the old nemesis - new "features". That's the approach I expect from Time/Warner/AOL/Netscape. Reminds me of an old Firesign Theater album:
"Now my friends, if you're Mr. Common Sense you won't believe me when I tell you that I've got a little envelope here that will will wash your dishes while you're driving your car at home to work."
I just about give up on trying to get every page on our sites working perfectly for NS.
6.2 was a mess, but 4.7 is so outdated. Bah.
I might try 7.0 beta, cannot be any worse.... can it?
Mine too... Let's all make a deal... No more designing for NS 4.anything unless we're designing education sites. :-)
The 6 or 7 people still using NS 4.x will get tired of pages showing up wrong and they'll switch.
Sound good?
<<-- Sound Good ??
No ! ;)
I presume you love IE then ??
