    A clarification:  PC World says that, if you install the new Netscape 
Navigator and then uninstall the PREVIOUS version, then Netscape and most other 
browsers will stop working.

    The problem is, when you uninstall the previous version of Netscape, it 
removes files used both by Netscape and by other browsers, so none of them will 
work.

    However, this does not affect any programs other than browsers.
