Never before was a funeral service so painful, so drawn out, or so costly.

Get It Try It

Pretty, isn't it?

The first and only thing Netscape 6 does on NT is perform an illegal operation and shut down.

That's it. YMMV, but on a clean as a whistle out of the box NT 4 install this happens while the splash screen is still up.

Once in the debugger, it looks like this:

And the code in place at this fantastic AOL fanfare is this:

60CA8BD9   cmp         dword ptr [ecx+0Ch],eax
60CA8BDC   je          60CA8BE1
60CA8BDE   mov         eax,dword ptr [ecx+14h]
60CA8BE1   ret

That's it. That's the review. Others can't even get this far - for them it crashes on the install.
