This is just funny....
On a web blog, IE program manager Dave Massy called out Netscape 8 for purportedly breaking XML rendering in IE6.
We’ve just confirmed an issue that has started to be reported on newsgroups and forums that after installing Netscape 8 the XML rendering capabilities of Internet Explorer no longer work. That means that if you navigate in IE to an XML file such as an RSS feed http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/rss.xml or an XML file with an XSLT transformation applied then rather than seeing the data you are presented with a blank page.
We currently have the following work around for people that are hitting this issue:
1. Uninstall Netscape 8
2. START->RUN
1. Type: regedit
2. Hit ENTER
3. Navigate to the following:
4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins\Extension
5. Highlight and right-click the node titled "xml" and select delete.
6. Restart Internet Explorer

The real funny thing is looking at the techie community response. They mostly all seem to say the same thing....IE and Netscape are crap, use Firefox. HAHA!
Enjoy.
