Of Gecko, yes. Of KHTML, no.

It's under development, though. Also, as far as I know, you can compile KDE under CygWin, but that's not very stable.

1.CygWin + Konqueror is extremely painful to run on my laptop P4 1.8m+256Mb. thats not the real solution.
2.Even KHTML can be ported to windows, it definitely wont has the same advantages when it was runing on Linux/Unix, and mostly, KHTML is not Safri completely, Safari is more stable and compatible than KHTML already, port KHTML to Win is by far the worst way to "feel the safari on window".

Yes, it would be possible to port the KHTML rendering engine to Windows, but you would also have to create the needed libraries to run it.
If Apple were ever to port Safari to Windows, it would probably be Gecko-based, not KHTML-based.
Even if Apple was to port all the Mac apps that are the equivelant of Netscape such as Safari, Mail, iChat, iCal, etc... I would still probably be using Netscape anyway.

I believe you're mistaken.

http://www.aol.de
http://www.aol.co.uk
http://www.iht.com/articles/109191.html

The key is to use the acronym, and never spell out the full name for non-American markets. Take KFC, for example. It's very popular in South Africa, but I couldn't find anybody there who knew KFC stood for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Not that it would matter, few people in South Africa even know where Kentucky is.

Ah, it seems you are right.
The name 'America Online Europe' sounds pretty weird indeed. I'm surprised that there are that many people that don't know what AOL stands for, but are signed up with them.

So, who's going to drop Firefox for Netscape's latest branding?

I still intend to use Mozilla Firefox at least part of the time after Netscape 7.2 is released. One piece of software I won't be needing immediately after NS7.2 is released, however, is Mozilla 1.7.x. Netscape does virtually everything the Mozilla application suite does, plus has a more stylish throbber.

I am proabaly going to still use Firefox over Netscape 7.2, unless Netscape 7.2 has somthing really sepcial in it that would make me want to switch from Firefox.

The same here. I'll probably alternate between Netscape and Firefox (with Opera a distant third) but primarily use Netscape. I must admit though that I'm suspicious of what AOL has done to it.

How slow is your computer? I've had success running App-suite at 120MHz, up until Moz1.3.1. Firefox does work a whole lot better, though.

Well it's:
OS:Win98SE
Proscroor:Intel Celron 600Mhz
HD:11.2 on C and 2.72 on D
Ram:63MB
That's all I know about the computer

Those specs are similar to my computer.
My computer:
OS: Windows 98 SE
Processor: Pentium III 533 MHz
RAM: 64 MB
Hard Drive 30 MB
I find Mozilla 1.7.2, and Firefox 0.9.3 to run at about the same speed. I don't notice a difference in speeds, other than Firefox loads a bit quicker.

That seems OK for running App-suite. I was able to run NS7.02 at 233MHz with 160MB of RAM with few problems.

I find Firefox to be a lot quicker at somethings and the last verison of Mozilla I used was 1.3.1. There might be some changes but firefox has some things I like and it's quicker sometimes... unless I get a newer computer which I plan to switch to a MAC I won't use NS or MOZ only Firefox
