Mozilla is the complete suite. It has the equivalent of Firefox
(the browser) and Thunderbird (the e-mail and news client)
integrated into it, along with an HTML editor. I've been using
Mozilla for a couple of years now for all my browsing and e-mail
and Usenet newsgrups. It works very well, and is safe, unlike
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, which are not safe.
Neither Thunderbird, nor the e-mail client in Mozilla, can be used
to completely replace Outlook. However, they will fulfill the
functions of Outlook Express, which is what they were designed to
do, and do it much more safely.
The latest Netscape is just the Mozilla suite with some commercial
plugins added. Mozilla has all the commercial stuff stripped out
of it. Up to you which you prefer.
Here is the link to download the latest Mozilla, version 1.7.3:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.3/
You will want to download the link that reads:
mozilla-win32-1.7.3-installer.exe
That's the full Mozilla client for Windows PCs.
