Personally I prefer NS7 because I designed my web page using CSS for layout,
with no frames or tables (except for an actual table). NS4x has terrible
style sheet support. CSS implementation seems to be one area that separates
old technology from new, and that, for me, is enough reason to upgrade to
the latest version of whatever. I have to provide two versions of my web
page, the one that's compatible for older browsers isn't capable of
displaying the site with the same feel or character. Web designers are
anxious to learn how to convert their table and frame-based layouts to style
sheets because that's the way the consortium standards are moving, and
intended.

The browser upgrade initiative hopes to encourage people to toss their old
browsers so that web developers can stop making (halfass)backwardly
compatible sites which stifles the development and implementation of newer
design standards and technologies.
