And hopefully it will have far fewer bugs!! I don't hate Netscape. I hate buggy products! (And Jim Barksdale, the whiny, snively, @#)(#*()#@**).

AOL (which owns Netscape) is incorporating thier browser into the newest AOL client instead of IE.. That means Netscape will come up with a majority share of the browser market almost over night..

Personally, I hope it does fall off the edge of the earth - and soon!!! Unfortunately, we have users on all different browsers - both those that use the new site we are developing, as well as the intranet - damn Mac users :) Since you are developing with the intranet in mind, developing for IE on the PC is obviously the best bet.

It's quite common to limit intranet products to one or a few browser versions, since you're able to communicate that requirement with the end users. Regarding internet use, according to most data I've seen, Netscape v4x is currently at about 8-10% and dropping precipitously. How low will it have to go before you stop spending 50% of your development time trying to workaround all its bugs and incompatibilities? For us, that answer is *very* low for internet products... at least another year or two. But for intranet products, which are loaded with more advanced features, it just doesn't make sense to support that now-marginal platform. Making wise development decisions based on the end-user profile is not "silly", nor do we take it lightly. -Ron > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Robert Jones > Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 4:24 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [imail] Standalone IIS based webmail > > > The following comments assume that by NS4 you are referring to > Netscape v.4: > > Why would you (read "your company") develop a product that is > not compatible > with Netscape?
