All you ie 5, and 5.5 users might want to look into this..

I guess those of us who've downloaded the 6.0 Preview aren't affected by this problem anymore, then? I didn't see any mention of the 6.0 browser, nor did any security fixes appear on Windows Update... So that's good at least.

No, those of us on 6.0 are probably affected by a whole different range of security bugs and holes..

Something always gotta be wrong..

Cant use netscape, because it doesnt read HTML that well

And now IE cause of security holes..

:rolleyes:

Solution: Use Mozilla 0.8.1

where did you get the 6.0 preview from? I did not see in on the microsoft page when I looked

www.microsoft.com/ie

Click on the IE6 Public Preview graphic on the left.

IE6 is a bit faster than IE5, at least for me. They've got this Privacy Policy Check thing and some weird new explorer bars: personal, media, image, etc. The interface is the same.

The small speed improvement is definitely a plus!
