It seems to me that there are no significant features in the Micro$oft program
announcement which has not either been available for a long time, or is not
available in Netscape.
The kind of accessibility they are talking about is a fundamental feature of
HTML and Micro$oft have been instrumental in destroying its accessibility, and
are now claiming to have saved some of it. The list of problems is longer than
the list of benefits.
My only commercial interest is that I strongly dislike Micro$oft's vicious
monopolistic attitudes and believe that they are holding back technology
immensely.
Netscape Navigator is free to educational users, has pioneered much of the
world wide web and most importantly, is developed by people who understand and
care about the technology.
