Netscape Communications 2.0?
« on: April 20, 2004, 04:05:40 PM »
Netscape Communications, thought dead when AOL laid off the entire browser division last year, is now hiring like crazy.  Earlier this month it was announced that AOL will release a point release of the Netscape browser suite (likely Netscape 7.2) based on the upcoming Mozilla 1.7 release.

according to CNET.

This doesn't answer the question, but at least focuses it: "'Netscape is a terrific brand and there's a lot more we can do with the portal,' spokesman Jim Whitney said. 'But we're not prepared to discuss our plans at this time.'

I'm very curious to see what they've got in the works, too. I love the brand and was extremely relieved to find that the browser will still be supported.

Interestingly, and not related to the above discussion, it looks like Netscape is now based out of Columbus, Ohio instead of Mountain View, California.

I have Firefox at work, too. Thunderbird is also very decent, and just got a branding upgrade: http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/

And only now that the OS 4.0 developer version is gold is there a good chance Mozilla will be ported to OS 4.
