Why are people installing the preview of Netscape 7.0?! What, do they think it'll be any better than older versions? It doesn't make any sense – considering that Mozilla is leaner, cleaner, and meaner. I know the open source project is still in beta, but would you rather knowingly install crapware on your system? I picked up a glorified computer magazine (read: pamphlet) last night. The editor was proud of running Netscape 4.x on a daily basis. What?! Is this dude on acid!? There are far better alternatives than a browser that was a piece of shit the DAY it hit the Web. He even admitted that it was not without its share of bugs. Hey, if Windows gave me problems all the time, you can bet your sweet bippy that I wouldn't be using it as my primary OS. Nothing's perfect, but that's no reason to settle for something that's far from second best. I don't get it. I just don't get why people think that Netscape is the bee's knees. It's not. It sucks. It's always sucked – and I'll go as far as to predict that it always WILL SUCK. I don't want the RealPlayer. I don't want SmartDownload. I don't want ICQ. I don't want AIM. I don't want any of that.

Go Mozilla.
