I develop websites, and traditionally, Net/Moz have been the bane of us trying to get things to appear correctly.

Why bother with Netscape?

Browser Visits to my site %
1. Microsoft Internet Explorer 9,232 86.36%
2. Netscape 950 8.88%

Because Gecko (the core of Mozilla/NS 7) is almost certainly going to be the core of the next version of the AOL browser. Which should shift the market share considerably.

AOL is in beta with mozilla embedded rather than IE. Better make sure things work right now. Of course it'll be easy to do, since Mozilla is actually standards compliant (much more so than IE.)

Netscape is NOT Mozilla. Mozilla is the base of Netscape.

I have the same browser usage results on my sites, also, however, that's probably because Moz/Net have been such poor performers, smart people quit using them in favor of something that works....which was IE.
I have no loyalties to any brand name, I go with what works, and what works now, is Mozilla, which is why I'm using it as a primary browser now. I was elated to find that it renders dhtml just fine, a major milestone for Moz.

Forget Netscape (at least until they catch up with Mozilla - they are at least four generations behind right now), but Mozilla is much more standards compliant than IE (and Opera, actually). And unless MS gets on the ball and complies, they are going to catch plenty of grief as time goes on. That is one place where they don't get to be the 500-pound gorilla.

Now in Microsoft's favor, the rumors I've heard say that IE 7 will be much more compliant, but not nearly to the degree that Mozilla is.
