NETSCAPE UNVEILS NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR PERSONAL EDITION

TEAMS WITH NATIONAL INTERNET PROVIDERS TO BRING PC USERS CHOICE FOR
RELIABLE, LOW-COST WEB AND EMAIL ACCESS

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (June 5, 1995) -- Netscape Communications Corporation
today announced Netscape Navigator Personal Edition, a new edition of the
world's most popular browser software that gives PC users one button
access to the Internet. As part of its new product offering, Netscape has
teamed with leading national Internet service providers (ISPs) including
MCI Communications Corporation, NETCOM OnLine Communications Services,
Portal Information Network, and UUNET Technologies, Inc. to ensure that
Personal Edition users in homes and small businesses can choose more
easily than ever before the most reliable and lowest cost Internet
access.

Personal Edition includes the full capabilities of the original LAN Edition
of Netscape Navigator, which today accounts for more than 75 percent of
browser traffic on the Internet. The new product combines the rich
features of the recently released Netscape Navigator 1.1, full email
capabilities using Eudora Light from QUALCOMM Inc., easy net access, and
remote connectivity capabilities to give users a complete dialup Internet
solution.

"Netscape Navigator Personal Edition delivers the dynamic world of the
Internet to anyone with a PC and modem," said Marc Andreessen, co-founder
and vice president of technology at Netscape. "By combining the world's
most popular browser with easy signup, a choice of Internet providers and
Eudora email capabilities, Personal Edition lets individuals easily
explore media-rich Internet communications and commerce with the best
online rates, reliability, and support available."

Netscape has partnered with a number of leading Internet service providers
to enable users to select the rates and services that best meets their
needs. When first installed on a PC, Personal Edition's Registration
Wizard presents a short series of one-button online forms that guide users
through the installation process. Personal Edition connects to Netscape's
hypermedia listing of available ISPs, including UUNET, Portal, NETCOM, and
MCI. After users browse through the choices and select one, the software
sets up an account with the chosen provider immediately and automatically.
From then on, Netscape Navigator Personal Edition dials the service
provider directly when launched.

Included in Personal Edition, Netscape Navigator 1.1 is a powerful
commercial browser for the Internet, offering high-performance and
point-and-click network navigation. It is optimized to run smoothly over
14.4 kilobit/second modems as well as higher bandwidth lines, delivering
performance up to ten times that of other Internet browsers. Netscape
Navigator 1.1 delivers:

** Ease of use, including a friendly graphical user interface and pop-up
menus for context-sensitive access to advanced features

** High performance, through such features as multiple simultaneous loading
of text and images, continuous document streaming, and native GIF and JPEG
image decompression

** Support for World Wide Web and Internet standards including HTTP, FTP,
Gopher, SMTP and NNTP (news)

** Integrated security, through the Secure Sockets Layer open protocol. SSL
provides encryption, which creates a secured channel to prevent others
from tapping into the network; authentication, which uses certificates and
digital signatures to verify the identity of parties in information
exchanges and transactions; and message integrity, which ensures that
messages cannot be altered en route

** Advanced features, such as support for full HTML 3.0 tables and
backdrops for more visually compelling pages; MIME-compliant news reading
and posting for multimedia articles; and the Netscape Client Application

Programming Interface for easy integration of third-party applications.

In addition, Netscape Navigator Personal Edition includes:

** Eudora Light email from QUALCOMM, which enables users to send and
receive email; create a personal address book and distribution lists;
attach files including graphics and sound, and read and create email
offline to reduce access charges

** Network TeleSystems protocol software for TCP/IP connectivity to the
Internet

** ShivaPPP client software from Shiva Corporation that provides users with
high performance, reliable remote-access connectivity.

"I was afraid of accessing the Internet because I heard it was expensive to
find an ISP and to hook everything together, but Netscape Navigator
Personal Edition created an instant gateway to the Internet at a great
price," said Seth Tabb, an early user of the product. "It's so easy that
it took me just a few minutes to install on my computer. With Netscape
Navigator, I have no trouble finding information and I've discovered a lot
more uses for the Internet than I ever imagined."

"I'm not a computer-literate person, and it wasn't until I loaded Netscape
Navigator Personal Edition that I realized how unbelievably exciting the
World Wide Web is," said Mark Casebeer, manager of systems design for Pro
Home Systems. "Suddenly, the Web was very easy to navigate. Netscape
Navigator Personal Edition is truly point and click and the interface is
fantastic. I'm sold on this product."

"I'm extremely impressed with Netscape Navigator Personal Edition because
the software installed and configured everything for me," said Dave
Schwietz, a partner with Select Consulting. "All I needed to do was put in
the disks and I was off and running. Netscape Navigator Personal Edition
is the type of product that's going to bring the Internet to the mass
market because it requires no technical expertise to use."

Netscape Navigator Personal Edition for Microsoft Windows is available
through retail outlets, through Netscape's online store on the Netscape
home page, from Netscape reseller and OEM partners, or directly from
Netscape. The estimated selling price is $39.95, which includes a 90-day
warranty and customer support. Netscape Navigator Personal Edition
requires at least a 386sx PC, a 14.4 kilobit/second modem, Windows 3.1 or
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, a recommended 8 MB of RAM, and 6 MB of hard
disk space.
