Communicator 4.7 was released for Win9x/NT today. Updates include a feature that organizes web audio content with the included Real Player. Also, it comes with Winamp 2.5, adding in-browser support for .mp3 files, as well as many other audio types supported by winamp. On a side note, the cnet article mentioned that Netscape has fallen behind Microsoft in browser technology, because "Microsoft released its version 5.0 browser in March; Netscape has yet to release Communicator 5.0." Just because Microsoft threw a product out with the 5.0 label, does not mean it contains superior technology. True, I was an IE5 fan in the beginning because of convenient features like AutoComplete, but those start to become painfully slow to respond when there is a large pool of data to be considered (ie - I used to archive this site with IE, and when I was changing the PubClass, it would remember every single entry in that field, ending up to be about 250 choices. This would take a good 5 seconds to respond till I could put data in this field, and I have a reasonably fast computer). Add to this that it was a beast with handling multimedia content, and I quickly came running back to Netscape 4.61. Higher version number != superior technology.
