It's easier to take advantage than introducing a new technology. Kluassen's remark was in reference to recent moves by Microsoft Corp., which is proposing a new technology standard for push. Netscape maintains that its push technology works on existing standards. Netcaster Channels can be presented using Dynamic HTML, including dynamic layers, dynamic fonts and canvas mode, some features which are supported as standards by the World Wide Web Consortium and some that are specific to Netscape's platform. Updated, personalized information is delivered in the background and can be stored in Communicator's offline cache, which allows users to see dynamic content without having to wait for pages to load.
Users can customize what, when and how often channel information gets pushed to their desktop.
