Just because AOL no longer wants to play, doesn't mean it's time for the funeral. See The Mozilla Foundation

    All netscape was anyways was mozilla code with the good stuff taken out and bloat added in. This is a victory in the browser market, mozilla is now the official opposition.

      So true. You lose the control over images and popups and get all kinds of add-ons shoved down your throat (like Flash, which I intetnionally cripple on any system it shows up on).

      This I don't wholly agree with. While AOL had netscape, at least up until the recent complete sellout/deal to MS, there was a chance that they'd be ditributing netscape or mozilla to their millions of users. Now it looks like it will be IE all the way. But that decision was already made - today's announcements are just the denouement(sp?).
