Isn't all software installed at own risk? And yes, Netscape 7.0 is designed to be extended. Netscape provide extensions to the base package themselves in the form of themes.

That's something you don't understand. Netscape is a company, not free community.
Also, when did you change to 1.0.1, I thought you were talking about the latest builds.

Comparing apples to apples...
Don't tell me you don't have your favourite type of apples. And Pacific Rose is the best apple (not available in Australia).

As for printed documentation? 1. It's applicable to Mozilla 1.0.1, and 2. It's not applicable if somebody is just downloading the installer, not purchasing the CD and such like. As for wording of the online documentation, do a diff. You might get a bit of a suprise if you do!

1. You are completely wrong. You don't use Netscape 7's documentation for Mozilla. You don't do that.
There's nothing saying you can't look at Netscape 7 FAQs and such like for help with Mozilla - or vice versa for that matter! Netscape link to mozilla.org for most of their development stuff (some via devedge). Might be a reason for this, don't ya think?
I did not say you can't, but you should not borrow Netscape's documentation for Mozilla into this debates.
However, I am allowed to take Mozilla's documentation for Netscape, why? Netscape 6/7 is based on Mozilla, not other way round.

2. If someone just download the installer, you still have online guides, and PDF guides for printing. I don't have programme for DIFF online documents.
The online guides (aside from included help file) and PDFs are not included in the installer, invalidating that point.
The point is still valid, why? The online guide and PDF file is easily located along the downloading links in Netscape 7 pages. People are not encouraged to search the FTP and dig out the wrong file.

Well.... AOL has about a half dozen people on the netscape browser, which really shows how much they care about Netscape. I do believe they transfered quite a few Netscape people to work on Gecko a while ago.

wow, I was twelve years old by that time... How silly I used to be. "Who" is not the best word for that, hehe.
Anyway, it is good to be back.
