Well, I can't even open Netscrash 7.1 for OS X so I won't bother rating it for anything other than stability.
I'm disappointed YET AGAIN by something Netscape put out. The last good version they released was 4.79 and even it was fundamentally flawed.
Mozilla's future time-line looks promising. They're planning to split the Microsoft Works-like bloatware into separate apps so each can evolve independently without the disadvantages of "I can do everything" applications.
FireBird is coming along nicely (for an early beta), Camino is a browser which can make Windows users envious of Macs, and even Mozilla isn't that bad (though, the GUI is still the most unMac-like of any of the browsers).
Unfortunately, it seems Netscape is up to its old tricks and makes the old play on words, Netscrash, resemble reality far too closely.
PS I won't rate the "Price" either but "you get what you pay for" comes to mind ;P
