I'm really curious as to why you believe that. Really.
If Netscape were interested in or capable of producing an IE-killer browser,
why haven't they done it already? Given the almost universally agreed-upon
crappiness of Communicator 4.7 what makes you think they will make good on a
product they've had in beta forever?
And even if they do deliver on all the promises in Mozilla, what makes you
think it will stay that way? Nav 3 was awesome. Communicator blows.
IE has pretty much kept improving over its lifespan, while Netscape's products
seem to have started doing the opposite.
I'd be much more confident in saying that even if Mozilla turns out to be as
great as all the anti-MS people say it will be, chances are Netscape will drop
the ball the next go around and spend 2 years playing catch-up. But that's
just my silly sense of history talking.
