Will U Be Upgrading to Internet Explorer 6?????

i dont no if many people no but Mircosoft have released internet explorer 6 and im wondering who will be upgrading to it, heres an article to fill you in on the "improvements" http://digitalmass.boston.com/news/2001/08/28/ie.html personally i wont, i think as its only 497k and ie5 was 60 megs its not actually a program, just a patch, and if u have read the article which is quite good i think its all a scam just to take away things that we take for granted and make everything "there" way, so i wont be, whats everyone else think?

ho, hi, ho..... fuck microsoft, they dont know nothing... they are only a bag of fucks who think they can steal everyone elses ideas and switch them around enough so the copyright wont be affected and how they turn the idea around is what makes the idea fuck up.... take ICQ.... they tried to do an instant messaging program lke icq, but instead, they created a piece of flimsy shit they does nothing but fuck up.... all i have got to do is minimize for an illegal opperation to occure.... FUCK U MICROSOFT!!!! FUCK U TO HELL!!!!!!!

Everything new with Microsoft has sooooooooo many bugs. I remember i had 5.0 and d/l 5.5 (when it was new), it really fucked my computer up and caused all sorts of probelms. So i'll wait a while be4 i d/l 6.0, cause i don't want to have the same problems again.

ya, i've had it a little while now

all i can say is...at least it's more stable than 5.5

...also the lockable toolbar is useful imo but otherwise, not much different to 5/5.5

must, say, that ie6 is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more stable than 5 (at least in my experience)

I was completely unsurprised by the whole thing, it crashes about 10% less than IE5, apart from that, looks the same, does the same and theres a few little bits in there that only the extreamly bored and easily amused could get excited about.
