This is hardly incremental. The inclusion of NTLM is a monumental advance. It means I no longer need to use IE on my intranet which uses NTLM for everything.

Basically, Mozilla always sends "user" and some servers require "user@domain".

I'm hoping the next version of Mozilla mail fixes the POP3 bug, where it's impossible to log on to certain POP3 servers that require the account name to be "@". Mozilla always sends just "" to the server and its impossible to tell it otherwise. The attitude of the developer in a bug report I saw was ridiculous. He sounded outraged that POP3 servers exist which require the domain name. There are many web hosting sites that require it. I hope they fix it...
I tried out.NET recently. It's actually obscenely easy to write GUI apps that look really good. Unfortunately, the baseline memory usage for a Windows Form app is 20MB. So, that pretty much rules it out for commercial projects.
For once, could we not just play "bash the corporations"? It's practically a miracle that they can get any of this stuff to work in the first place. Even with the defects, the ability to manipulate so many atoms at the level of reliability they have baffles my mind. But of course, I'm probably not near as smart as the average slashdotter.
It's good to see the original internet innovator, Netscape, finally vindicated. Even if it is at the hands of an evil media corporation...
Let's hope AOL continues to support the Mozilla browser effort, so that we can continue to see innovation in the browser market.

Looks like Microsoft is trying to do something similar to a couple of its former employees (ala Foundstone to Glaser):
Microsoft to Take Spinoff to Court?
Of course, we all know Microsoft is no saint.
