http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ , linked from the home page and the start page (it's part of the nag text). - person goes to home page - person downloads 1.4 - person gets start page which says "your version is out of date" - person follows link in nag message which goes to releases page - releases page says "please get a version with talkback" >> The word talkback >> is a link to some confusing Netscape page and not the talkback version >> of mozilla. > > Which page, exactly? at the top of http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ - the first link on the page is to the Netscape 7.0 Talkback page. The page also says that Mozilla binaries are for testing purposes only, describes the crash data newsgroup, tells them about builds for obscure platforms and how to build from source, and then warns them not to break US export restrictions. none of those are key bits of information to most new users, although the key issue is the fact that the 1.4 start page directs people to the releases page in order to get them to test the latest code. -- Michael
