The story calls Netscape 7.2 - based on Mozilla 1.7 - a "minor" upgrade and "not a giant step forward." What it neglects to mention is that Netscape 7.1 is based on Mozilla 1.4 which is absolutely HORRID in comparison to Mozilla 1.7. It's a full year of development. True, the interface won't change much, but there have been so many improvements in performance and functionality improvments since 1.4 - I know; I'm still using Netscape 7.1 - that I'm frankly just disgusted with this story passing off Netscape 7.2 as a minor upgrade.
