LOL!!!

They said "resistance is futile", but they were wrong! As for me, I'm
QUITE CONTENT with IE 5.5 SP2.

There have been some rumors (not created by me) that some people using
Win98SE had some problems with IE 6. I don't know if that is the case -
most people here say it works great. So - if you want the newest model, go
for it!

But as for me, (and just as an aside), I'm still QUITE CONTENT with WMP 6.4
too (just for the record) So there! LOL.

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
Colorado says! eg)

Are there any reasons not to?

Please share your experience.
