As a CNET editor, I'd like to clarify a couple of points about our Mozilla review.
First: The CNET rating system bears little resemblance to the one you remember from school. We set the average at 5 and go from there. Hence, a 7 is actually quite a good score. Hardly any product gets a perfect 10--even 9s are uncommon.
Second: Remember that both Netsape 6.x and IE 6.0 also scored 7s. As far as we're concerned, all the browsers are tied, each with different strengths and weaknesses. The next versions may or may not determine a true winner.
Hope this clears things up.
