The funny thing about Mozilla is that some Mozilla hackers/users tell "you should swicth to Mozilla ASAP, it's very good!" while others tell: "it's not ready yet. You should wait 1.0 release". Mozilla 1.0 was initially planned for the spring 2001, than slipped till autumn 2001. At that moment I got an idea - it can be that Mozilla will never reach 1.0 release :-) And in fact I was not far away from the truth: now it's planned for April 2002, but I doubt that they will be able to fix all outstanding bugs (not speaking about reducing startup time and improoving rendering speed). I am, in particular, very much interested in CSS and how Mozilla renders *valid* CSS code. Last time when I was checking Mozilla 1_0 targeted bugs, there were around 500 CSS1 open bugs and about 60 CSS2 bugs. I mean here *bugs targeted at 1.0 release*. Do you think that they will be able to close 550 bugs just in 4 months? I doubt it. But release *with* those bugs not fixed will be disaster. So I think Mozilla will slip by another year (or two) :-(( -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
