Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML

Posted by Zonk on from the thats-an-oops dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has alerted users that Netscape's latest browser appears to break the XML rendering capabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Dave Massy, a senior programme manager for IE, warned users in a blog posting that after installing Netscape 8, IE will render XML files as a blank page, including XML files that have an XSLT transformation. What a week for Netscape 8.0; first the browser needed several fixes hours after its release, then it was discovered that without IE installed, Netscape 8.0 will not install, and now IE needs Netscape uninstalled to work."

    "IE needs Netscape uninstalled to work"

    I wonder if that is a bug on Netscape's part or a feature?

    Is this a sigs-optional kind of place? 'Cause I am totally down with that if you know what I mean.
