...and the browser wars begin again!

You thought the browser wars were over? Apparently not.

Of course, I exaggerate. IE won. No one is going to displace it any time soon. But it's still amusing to see Netscape installed by default by a major PC vendor.

I actually had not heard that Netscape had been revived. I was even more intrigued to learn that the (ostensible) reason HP made the move was because Netscape 8 can use either the Firefox or the IE rendering engine. So even if you use Netscape, you may still be using IE. How entertaining.

(anybody played with it? I'm deeply suspicious of anything AOL creates, but I gotta admit the ability to render pages either as IE or as Firefox is alluring...)
