Thank you very much for the reply.

(And don't believe a word of what Colorado says! eg)

Please pardon my ignorance, but what the above was supposed to mean?

TIA, Eugene

MS considers IE6 SP1 to be a Critical Update: http://snipurl.com/4bgz.

The
author of that post, Anthony Grey, heads up the IE/OE sustained

engineering
team at Microsoft.

Upgrading will necessitate two (2) visits to Windows Update: One to

install
IE6 SP1 (and reboot), then another to install post-SP1 updates for both IE
and Win98. To assure a clean install, your anti-virus application should

be
disabled and all other running processes closed before installing

anything,
including Windows Updates.

Early versions of IE6 SP1 proved troublesome for a small minority of Win98
users but such bugs have been addressed and trouble us no more. Don't let
anyone else tell you differently. (And don't believe a word of what

Are there any reasons not to?

Please share your experience.
