They're essentially the same engine, and function the same, but Mozilla doesn't come bundled with all the AOL and commercial junk like Netscape does. For the "corporate" environment, they pan Netscape 7 and recommend Mozilla. Go to: http://www.mozilla.org Good luck! >>> [log in to unmask] 09/09/02 02:22PM >>> --- Forwarded Message from "Andrea L.

Curry" <[log in to unmask]> >To: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum <[log in to unmask]> >In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ We're running a Mac lab, with IE5 and Netscape 4.7 as our browsers of choice. I would love to upgrade Netscape, but some of our mission-critical apps refuse to work under Netscape 6. Netscape 7 just came out this week, and I've been trying it out on my development machine. It seems to work with all our Web applications, and I'm considering loading it onto our 20 lab machines. There's just one nitpicky problem: NS7 comes bundled with AOL Instant Messenger, which I am highly wary of allowing in the lab for various reasons. I know it comes with Communicator as well, but this version makes it extremely obvious that AIM is part of Netscape - and I have not yet found a way to remove the AIM components or even make it less obvious. NS7 is perfect in every other way, and I'd really like to upgrade from 4.7 as soon as I can. Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem? I've searched the newsgroups, but I think it's a little early for that. Of course, the Netscape site is no help. Any advice you can give would be appreciated! Thanks, Andrea. -- Andrea L.
