I have noticed more and more recently that Netscape is definitely losing more
and more ground to IE. I say this because I am coming across more and more
web-sites that do not work properly with Netscape. When something does not seem
quite right at a site, I'll open IE to the site in question and bingo!, the
site starts working "better" and will be more complete. I think more and more
webmasters are not supporting Netscape like they support IE. I rue the day when
I will have to shift over to IE but I think it is inevitable. Also, I heard XP
does not support Sun's Java, which is in such wide use today on the majority
of websites one visits. You have to get a plug-in from Sun's site to be
java-enabled in XP. Is this true XP users? How incredibly arrogant of M$ to do
that .....................nothing new actually.
