Why netscape and not Mozilla?
The secret of Mozilla (as opposed to FireFox that every one raves about) is that Mozilla launches faster than netscape, opera, firefox. It does this using the same trick MSIE does, by keeping part of it resident all the time.
When you are in and out of your browser as often as I am, this matters.
There's just no reason on earth to still run netscape.

I do not consider this a desirable feature. I'd rather wait the second or so that it takes Netscape to launch than have it sitting in the background all of the time eating up memory and doing god knows what else. If I'm going in and out of my browser then I'm probaby not doing anything memory intensive and can just leave Netscape up all the time.
I also like Netscape's UI better. There's not a hell of a difference between the browsers' UIs, but where there is I like how Netscape does it better.
I like netscape's mail, you can right-click links to open in new tabs or windows and I can't stand outlook mail.
What mail program do you use with mozilla?
I recently switched to an alternate desktop shell called Emerge. It rocks.
It replaces "explorer.exe" in Win XP and Win2k. (I use it on both). The thing is...Firefox launches faster with the Emerge desktop shell than it ever did while I was running Microsoft's Explorer shell.
If you like a clean, sleek and swift desktop shell that is infinitely configurable...give Emerge a shot.
