Mozilla launches SeaMonkey 2.0 RC1 internet suite
If the concept of an all-in-one internet app sounds familiar, that's because that's what Mozilla originally did, in the days before there was a Firefox web browser or Thunderbird internet client.

SeaMonkey is an open source, cross-platform application that's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Firefox seems to make more often releases. That's Why I ask.

Don't forget to mention about you can use Lightning (1.0pre) as a calendar app for SM2. Have been using it long time, and just love it :-) It has almost everything but still works solid and fast !

SeaMonkey 2 uses the exact same rendering engine as the upcoming (to be released later today?) Firefox 3.5.4
