BetaNews is reporting that America Online will not release Netscape 8 Beta this week as expected but instead will be pushing the release date back into March.

"AOL had scheduled a February 18 beta to open Netscape's doors to the public, but development is taking longer than planned. The delay is unrelated to any specific bug or problem, sources said.

"We have an excellent beta candidate, but we wanted to spend a little additional time to polish it before making it publicly available," a company spokesperson told BetaNews. "We expect that a beta will be publicly available within the next couple weeks.""
