Latest Netscape offering escapes

Previously criticised for bugs, instability and lateness, will this beta browser be better?

NEWS Netscape 6.1 is a follow-up to version 6.01- the product of a two-and-a-half year Mozilla open source project. It was, however, criticised for bugs, instability and lateness. The browser is on Netscape's site ready for download, and is said to be faster and more stable than v6.01. Changes include a new cache for frequently accessed files, an upgraded mail program, new search functionality and drop-down auto-complete for web page forms. It is also said to have a slightly different look and feel.
