Looks like MS HotMail closed the front door but left the back door open. If this is the case, its a greater disservice to users that the lame security was in the first place. Now legitimate users will have to use the hack to protect themselves.
Mozilla the browser works! Go get a nightly or a milestone. Not only does it work but it works on more platforms than any other browser. Mail and News are coming on-line with great speed. Don't lose faith. Go get a build, give it a work out, report bugs, read the newsgroups and contribute.
Mozilla is working. There are quite a few outside developers and the code is already a central piece of many outside projects. It will continue to be an open source development effort because it can't be contained. Not even by AOL. And who the hell does this Sun guy think he is throwing out his opinions anyway. Mozilla belongs to the community. Sure AOL could pull the developers and that would probably kill what momentum the project does have but they can't take the code back. Outside development continues to grow as the project gets closer to beta and after this december's release of a fully functioning, standards compliant browser, I think the community will take up the torch. The rumors of mozilla's death are greatly exaggerated.
Um....Mozilla and its new rendering engine are faster than anything Netscape has put out so far and should be significantly faster than anything MS has out. Check it out at mozilla.org
Would this be a complete re-write of IE? If so It might give MS the oportunity to do something right. If MS has a group of Linux programmers working on this they just might do the right thing and make a light weight, modular and fast browser. They might also see the threat from the Linux/Mozilla combo and react with a decent product. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new browser war - one where MS tries to out-do Mozilla and take control of the browsing experience on Linux. Do you think Red Hat, Caldera, Suse and others would include MSIE on commercial distributions?
