Well, my experence with the Netscape Browser Prorotype is as follows...
I downoladed the setup program, and ran the NSbrowserSetup-Full.exe and I then recived a nice little dialouge box informing me that I don't meet the minimum system requirements of a 233MHz processor, 64MB RAM, and 35MB of Hard Drive space. I belive I meet the requirements. The only possible explanation could be that Windows reads I have 63MB of RAM, when in reality I have 64MB, and this is causing the setup program to give me the error, and quit.

For those that stupidly didn't register (namely, me), does anyone have a link to the download?

Or since it appears that it will be impossible for those who didn't see it coming or were late to register or didn't register at all... for whatever reason.. I guess does anyone know approximately how long some of us that have been hoping and praying for a new NS Browser have to wait for the new release?

The new Netscape isn't really that ugly. Of course it can be laid out a little better, of course, but this is a PROTOTYPE. It will most likely change looks a few times before it's thrown out as a final release.
And for those who missed the deadline, wait until there are more open slots would be my suggestion.

Here is the URL to the MS Windows download:
link removed by Admin.
I'm still looking for the Linux download.
Thanks in advance.
[Edit by profman: Used BBCode to shorten URL. 11/30/04]
The direct link to the file is not allowed. It is in violation of the Prototype EULA.

Apparently, they had a limited number of testers, and quota filled in with about one week to go.

My computer was sold as having 512 MB RAM and 80GB HD. But, if I look at My Computer, I see 504 MB RAM, 9right click|Properties, and 75.4 GB HD.
It is foolish, even if true, but at least check My Computer.
I'll have to go to the store, and get part of my money back (almost 2.5% of the RAM, and 6% of my HD.

Beanboy: I thought that look was only for WIndows 2000????
I still have no idea why it's UA has Firefox 0.5.6+??? That was still Phoenix! There was never a verison of Firefox that had x.x.6 at the end. I'm not getting it, it's too bloated and ugly!

Concure with most regards appearance - Butt ugly -
Looks like it requires a combination of NS 7.2 and FF hacks to get it anyplace close to "user friendly"
But then again, I don't think much of FF either.
Anyone know where they hid the "passwords" file ?

OK, give me a minute to rant.
Based on Firefox 0.9.3? OK, we've got a recent Gecko build date of 20041122, so I'm guessing that's just been left in there since development started. AOL's fault for not updating one simple aspect of the language pack.
When was the last time we had the square Netscape icon? Late 2001, I believe! AOL's fault for using an outdated logo.
Hmm, Firefox 0.5.6+. Probably a Netscape milestone, not a Firefox milestone, and AOL's fault for not re-branding the UA correctly.
And if that weren't enough, the number of default UA widgets is awful! All that valuable browsing space taken up by useless junk.
And then I noticed, during installation, the file "flash.ocx". They're using ActiveX, in a Netscape-branded browser? Here's what I have to say to that: stupid, stupid AOL! Speaking of the installer, what was wrong with the Firefox installer? They've apparently packaged it using Nullsoft Installer instead.
P.S. Has anyone noticed that the default theme is code-named Aluminum, but calls itself Firefox?

I figured that it would have been in the profile, thus a Search, which produced: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Netscape\NSAE\Profiles\default\ .s file
I was looking for the profile before, but I started a full fledged search after you brought this up.
I am not concerned about beauty, but rather about functionality. And, it ain't here yet. More non-personal stuff in the Personal Toolbar. Typical of AOL.
