Netscape 9 Target Platforms

Posted by Chris Finke

After last week's announcement, many of you inquired about the target platforms for Netscape 9. The previous version of Netscape (8.x) was only available for Windows, but the news that I have to bring this week is that Netscape 9 will be released simultaneously for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

Because there's not much else to say on the topic of operating system compatibility, here is a bonus teaser: Below is a screenshot of an FTP page rendered in two different browsers. Can you guess which one is Netscape 9? :-)

I have used the My Netscape site for years. Now that it has been unavailable for nearly a month, I wonder when you plan on making it available again, and what kind of notice you will give to long time users like myself.

I guess the picture on the right is Netscape 9. Will Netscape 9 have the Netscape mail client that Netscape 7 I think it was had? Also, I'd love to see the "Fusion" theme or "skin" that came with Netscape 8 I think it was come with Netscape 9 as an option to the user. I really liked that one.

I dont believe in Netscape any longer! For they are still not able to release international Versions of Netscape 8 (French, German...)

Shame on you!

Haha! And I was worried I wouldn't be able to use it on Linux. . . . I should learn to read :P

And i would like to try your beta release for linux.
