Will it also convert progressive JPEGs to normal JPEGs?

Yes.

Do they have anything like that for PC Windows?

    As it says on the Web page whose URL they gave in the original post,

"PC versions of the transmogrifier will also shortly be available."

    I _will not_ make nasty remarks about the reading abilities of PC
users. I _will not_ make nasty remarks....  ;-)

I would just like to point out that Netscape 2.0b1 is a bug-riddled
disaster that very likely will not be cleared up until well after that
date. Not very many people are going to be taking advantage of progressive
JPEGs if there is no currently available browser that can display them, and
not eat the contents of the hard drive at the same time.

I'd suggest moving your cutoff date back a bit.

The ftp server ftp.best.com, on which the app is supposed to be, was 
down on the 9th of Nov.

Just to let you know.

I agree.  However, I've been using 2.0b2 for several weeks now (ever since
it came out) and have had NO problems.  I'm not disputing you, but
there are some people out there who would benefit from progressive JPEGs.

I don't know about the PC version, but Mac 2.0b2 works OK (for a beta), as
long as you don't let its amazing memory leak fill its Get Info
allocation. I give it 15 MB, open About This Macintosh, and keep an eye on
the RAM bar. WIth that much RAM to play in, it'll last for a couple of
hours. When it hits 90% or so, it's time to quit and relaunch Netscape.
Otherwise...kaBOOM!

ON the other hand, I haven't been able to use b2 for more than 5 seconds
without it crashing my machine, no matter what I do.

I had the same problem out of B2 (16bit). B2a is out and I am not
crashing!
