Netscape 8 Launched
as reported at the register
download it here - anyone going to bother? looks heavily like a skin of firefox, but apparently with better security and better support for shoddily-written webpages...

Its most interesting feature is the ability to choose whether a page is rendered by the Mozilla or IE engine. Apparently you can save the setting such that everytime you go to that page it automatically switches engines, if necessary! In effect, you get the ability to view certain non-standard pages using the IE engine without needing to launch it. 
Can you use the IE engine with Firefox?

There are a couple of FF extensions that will do that between FF and IE (either way)
