Netscape is down to 5% of the browser market and slipping lower every day. One day I won't have to design my pages to work on Netscape anymore. It's a shame to say that, but it's just too much trouble.

And before I'm accused of being a Microsoft flunkie, guys, it's not that I like Internet Explorer, it's just that it renders pages properly without crashing (on Windows 2000/XP--I can't comment on 98/ME).

I wish the Netscape vs. Internet Explorer browser war could have been fought fair-and-square, with both products being separate $25 items you had to buy. Then Netscape would have had the money to innovate and improve their product.

I still think IE would have won, but it would have won by actually being the better browser instead of by being bundled.
