I am by no means surprised, and I guess this post has been a long time coming but its been announced on the Netscape blog that support for Netscape web browsers is being discontinued. Security releases will end on February 1st 2008.
It is a shame, once one of the great leaders in the browser market now gone to the grave.
Oddly enough, ive always been a fan of Netscape Navigator whilst not necessarily using the product... which I guess is why its odd. Navigator9 has some pretty nifty tools included which are great for web developers alike. I guess their biggest problem was the lack of innovation achieved by the company over the years which essentially lead to the browsers death - in my opinion years ago.
Oh the bright side... thats one less browser us web developers have to worry about!
