"The final beta of Netscape 6 looks like it will offer much
greater Web browsing capabilities than previous Netscape
Communications Corp. browsers, but it takes a few steps backward
when it comes to messaging."
"This development, combined with Netscape 6's lack of
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support, will be a deathblow
to the browser's corporate appeal...."
"eWEEK Labs believes that most corporate users will be very
disappointed with the new Netscape browser, given the general
weakening of the Netscape Mail client, which was the main
attraction that kept companies loyal to Netscape Communicator 4.x
despite its competitive shortcomings."
