[spelling nazi]I,m thinking the weather is a little chilly[/spelling nazi]

I've heard some bad things about IE6, but I cant remember any specifics. So for the time being I plan to stick with IE5.5 sp2 which works great for me.

stick to 5.5 Burzhui. IMO microsoft took a step back with IE6. Among other things it doesn't have java support, although you can download a patch at www.sun.com for it.

I haven't had problems with my IE6, I kinda like it actually.

Unless if your on xp. . . which most likely you aren't since you have this question stick with 5.5. 5.5 is better, 5.1 is best

. I still am on 5.1 on my w2k box.

I'm running 6 on W2K - no issues.
