Netscape 9 coming

Netscape 9 is coming. The once glorious web browser that was effectively dead in the water a few years ago is set to have another major release. Netscape 9 was announced announced last week to a fairly receptive audience. It has been revealed that Netscape 9 will integrate into several "social networking" websites (like Flock?) along with Netscape.com. It is also known that Netscape 9, unlike it's predecessor Netscape 8, will be cross-platform.



Here's my personal comments: I am looking forward to having yet another Netscape-branded browser, but after seeing the disaster that was Netscape 8.x, I am a bit hesitant. Hopefully AOL has smartened up a bit since the release of Netscape 8 and is more focused on making Netscape 9 a usable web browser.
