Product Platform: WinNT,Win95,Win98,WinME,WinXP,Win2k

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Though it really does seem to load pages faster, a *lot* faster, the fact that they took away every search engine(except Netscape) in the url search bar, then broke it completely(you can no longer type in something in the url bar, then hit the down arrow and enter to go to whatever search engine you use) but now unless you keep the Netscape Toolbar installed, you can't search at all via the browsers tools(you actually have to go to Google, etc.). This was a very bad move, and I hope Netscape 7.2.1 will clean this up as 7.1 was near perfect and this was almost a step back. :(

Quick update: Over at the Unofficial Netscape FAQ site, they have created a plugin that brings more than 30 search engines back to Netscape. It even fixed the url search! This small plugin alone helps Netscape 7.2 pass Netscape 7.1 in sheer performance. Rock on guys!
