Many of you have probably already heard that The new version of Netscape renders pages with both Mozilla and IE. What does everyone think about that? Im thinking I might get it and use it just for that alone, something that would be especially useful for debugging cross-browser issues in web design. If only it could do safari too. ;)

I thought Netscape went bust so there wouldn't be a new browser from them, hence their engine popping up in Mozilla?

My main preference would still be mozilla. But it is pretty cool that someone is keeping up and aware of the issues and the cross-compatibility problems (CSS, etc..) between IE and mozilla (and the fact that a company like Netscape is trying to solve it).
But as I said, I'd rather stick to mozilla and develop flawless websites using the normal code. The fact that each browser renders its own version of each website annoy the hell out of me, and so I'd develop my sites (with mozilla as my priority) and use the right code practices.
As you pointed out though, this would be cool for debugging cross-browser issues. I don't really understand how would it render the page using both IE and Mozilla.. and how would it be helpful (from a developer perspective) if you can view the page flawlessly but the user, on the other hand, who's using the IE could view the page as you are seeing it? (Take CSS as an example, and the issues between both browsers)
