Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd

Following up a story from May, linux2004 writes "for those who thought Netscape was dead after firing all their staff and spinning Mozilla off into a non-profit foundation, then think again. It was announced a while back that Netscape would continue releases of their browser suite and now the release date has been confirmed as August 3rd as a free download or by buying a CD. I don't think it'll take the attention away from Firefox but will be a decent upgrade for those using Netscape 7.1. The 7.2 release will be based on Mozilla 1.7 and will probably have the usual Netscape additions."

Check out http://slate.msn.com/id/2103152/this article [slate.msn.com]. It discusses PC viruses, and how Internet Explor^H^H^H^H^H^H is far more susceptible to viruses than other browsers. The author has downloaded Mozilla Firefox, and finds it superior. And the best part about this story - it's hosted by an MSN WEBSITE!! I guess da Bill hasn't found this one yet,...
Perhaps Paul Boutin (article's author) will be searching for a job pretty soon,... ;-)
