YOU BE BETTER OFF TO STAY WITH 5.0 OR 5.5 WITH IEs BECAUSE IE 6 IS VERY UNSTABLE,I MYSELF DO NOT USE ANY IES,I USE OPERA OR MOZILLA AND NETSCAPE IN WHICH I THINK IS BETTER.

We upgraded from IE5 to 5.5 with no noticeable differences - the upgrade is very easy & I seem to recall there were some security issues that prompted the change.
using IE6 on this pc with WMe, seems to be working OK, no problems at all with it, knock on wood... Al

Some of the things new to IE 6.0 are that you can block individual cookies, delete all cookies from within the browser, there is the image toolbar (anything that's greater then 300x200 pixels will have an icon show up ***which can be turned off**** that will allow you to print or save the image just by clicking, windows media player is integrated into the browser, and there is an auto re-size function for pictures if you drag and change the size of your browser.
That all said, I have been using it for over a year and have to re-install it several times a year. You would do your self a favor by waiting for the first service pack.

I upgraded because I installed MS Money 2002 and it required it. So, there must be some differences between the two.
