I'm going to disagree. Netscape needs to add configurability if they are going to sell proprietary standards that people employ in offering information. I recently wrote a proposal for 2 "Netscape stations," machines which would not be networked, but be available for use with Netscape 2. Sort of a shame to use dialup modems in place of the high speed internet connection, but security concerns stemming from an inability to guarantee Java & Javascript are not running cause me to feel that this would be the best solution. Until there's security oriented configurability, I can't say Netscape has anything better than an acceptable record. They do a decent job of fixing the bugs, but only if you can enfore deployment of a new version, and ensure that old, bad features are not used.
