作为对 Netscape Communications 公司和 Mozilla.org 开发人员的奖赏,他们在1998年将该浏览器作为开放源代码发布的决定在两年半之后结出了硕果。11月初发布的 Netscape 6的最终版本是完全重写的,提供了出色的跨平台支持、充分的标准支持和一种使该浏览器可几乎无限定制的开放式结构。不幸的是,Netscape 6并不适合大多数公司,因为它缺乏对 LDAP(轻型目录访问协议)的支持。自 eWEEK 实验室于8月份首次报道该浏览器将不支持 LDAP后,已有一百多名公司经理和用户来信说他们的公司将因其缺乏对 LDAP 的支持而不会部署 Netscape 6。许多人都说他们的公司坚持使用 NetscapeCommunicator 4.x,尽管其浏览能力较差,但它有出色的 LDAP 和消息传送特
