Saw this on my Lockergnome mailing list. One writer's opinion of the Windows
version:
If you hadn't already heard, Netscape 6.0 (preview release 1) is out. So
what do I think about it? The UI has taken a giant leap backwards, and you
know how I feel about cruddy UI's. I know we're taught to like someone for
who they are and not for what they look like. Still, I don't know what those
folks were smoking when they put this puppy together. White in windows was
great in the days of Windows 3.1, but Netscape 6.0 looks like an old 16-bit
app. Sure, it's a cosmetic thing, but wouldn't you rather use something more
visually appealing? You may disagree with my assessment, and that's fine.
Give it a shot, draw your own conclusions. Beauty is in the eye of the
downloader.
I haven't tried it, so I'm not qualified to say.
