"Your current browser is outdated" says Netscape.com
Using my nightly build of Mozilla Firefox I typed "netscape.com" as was created with an webpage saying:
"Alert: Your current browser is outdated!" Then "blablabla upgrade to Netscape 8"
Well my browser cant be more up to date then a nightly build!

I love the fact that they're based on 1.0.3 not 1.0.4, so not only are they releasing a product with known (serious) security vulnerabilities, they are claiming that it is more secure than the browser with those vulnerabilities fixed!

and found this
function Is() {
var agent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
this.major = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
this.minor = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);
this.ns = ((agent.indexOf('mozilla')!=-1) && ((agent.indexOf('spoofer')==-1) && (agent.indexOf('compatible') == -1)));
this.ns2 = (this.ns && (this.major == 2));
this.ns3 = (this.ns && (this.major == 3));
this.ns4 = (this.ns && (this.major == 4));
this.ns5 = (this.ns && (this.major > 4));
this.ns6 = (this.ns && (agent.indexOf('netscape6')!=-1) );
this.ns7 = (this.ns && (agent.indexOf('netscape/7')!=-1) );
this.ns7pr = (this.ns && (agent.indexOf('netscape/7.0b1')!=-1) );
this.ns71 = (this.ns && (agent.indexOf('netscape/7.1')!=-1) );
this.ns72 = (this.ns && (agent.indexOf('netscape/7.2')!=-1) );
this.ie = (agent.indexOf("msie") != -1);
this.ie3 = (this.ie && (this.major == 2));
this.ie4 = (this.ie && (this.major >= 4));
this.ie5 = (this.ie && (this.major == 4) && (agent.indexOf("msie 5.0") != -1));
this.ie55 = (this.ie && (this.major == 4) && (agent.indexOf("msie 5.5") != -1));
this.ie6 = (this.ie && (agent.indexOf("msie 6.0")!=-1));
this.op3 = (agent.indexOf("opera") != -1);
this.pc = (agent.indexOf("win") != -1);
this.mac = (agent.indexOf("mac")!=-1); // Mac detect
this.client = ( (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('AOL')!=-1) || (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('CS 2000')!=-1) )? 1 : 0;
this.moz = ( this.ns && (agent.indexOf("netscape/") == -1) );
if (this.moz) this.ns = 0;
}
var is = new Is()
if (is.ie)
if (is.pc) document.write("");
else document.write("");
if (is.ns4) {
if (is.pc) {
document.write("");
} else {
document.write("");
}
}
if (is.ns5) document.write("");
And on http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/default.jsp, it says it requires Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98 SE, or ME. Seems like a step backward.
