We cannot make a recommendation regarding Netscape 7.0 until we have checked it out -- and finished our Mozilla 1.1 evaluation too. However, our best guess at this time is there is not much use to running Netscape 7.0 because it likely is so far behind Mozilla 1.1. You likely are much better off to download and use Mozilla 1.1 than you are to download and use Netscape 7.0 -- although Mozilla 1.1-beta might be more stable than Mozilla 1.1 -- still looking into that. Nevertheless, if you prefer to use Netscape 7.0 rather than Mozilla 1.1, or you just want to try Netscape 7.0 for yourself, here are the Netscape 7.0 download links and information.
