And overload system with one more browser??
Hopefuly, there are no sites optimized for Mozilla. And it will be hard for 
Netscape to convinience webmasters to optimize sites for them, taking into 
consideration their market position.
 
You can handle a lot of sites with Konqueror/KHTML.
IMHO Konqueror will be more successful then Netscape/Mozilla.
While it is part of KDE project, it runs from any other Window Manager 
(tested with Window Maker, AfterStep, SawFish). Don't like KDE decorations? 
Run it from SawFish! :-)
If only KHTML/KJS is ported to Windows and Mac ...

Agree 100%

It will be interesting to see it.
