First I installed it to my Win2K and it worked fine; Now I'm using XP and whole package works like a dream

Didn't notice anything particularly new/exciting but works like a charm under Win2K Pro SP2 here

I noticed that the cookie handling systgem has been improved. I don't accept stored cookies on my machine. Wen first prompted now there is a box to check that IE remembers your choice on that web site. In other words if you are willing to accept AH cookies you can without negating the setting of restricting cookies from other sites. It also stops the annoying reappearance of cookie requests by various sites. You say no once and no more cookies windows pop up.

Nice!

How big of a download is it with a java Vm? I'm stuck with a 28.8 modem for a month or so more so 20+ megs would take all day.

The biggest problem I have heard bout IE6 is it won't support Netscape plug=ins (supposedly) and therefore some website may or maynot show up correctly and possibly alot of webdesigners have to design for both or one.

Can anyone dispell this rumor I have heard?
I am not upgrading until I hear differently and will uninstall 6 when I get XP and install 5.5 which works for me now.
(If it ain't broke don't fix it)(which is why I run win98-NONSE

)

S!
