Netscape Dead

Caught this the other day, and was thankful that this is finally true!

Netscape 4 is officially dead (less than 0.4% usage!)

This is a momentous announcement for CSS!

I worked for a major online travel company for three years (until layoffs last year). We had deployed a J2EE product with a much-needed UI upgrade which included some dHTML elements. We STILL had to support Netscape 4.x as many major clients wouldn't allow MSIE for security reasons.

Around June of last year we finally convinced Marketing and Those We Must Approve to upgrade the browser requirements to MSIE 5+ and Netscape 6.1+.

Death to <layer>s!

About time!

Any chance you got a link to the source from where you got the usage statistic?
