I upgraded last night for some stupid reason.... About 50% of the pages i try to get to won't work... I sign off reboot and i can get to them... 30 min later they don't exist... Didn't have this problem until i switched from IE5.5 to 6.... Anyone else experiencing anything like this.

Haven't seen anything like it. I have it on 3 computers here and a few others elsewhere and it has been good to me.

i upgraded and didn't have any problem. i would double check your settings, especially your security settings b/c those change in IE6

Is IE6 is good upgrade from 5.5, like any good reason to do it to my non-XP PCs here?

I have IE 5.5 with service pack 2 installed, and never had a problem with it, so I doubt I will try and upgrade it. If it's working, I'm not going to take the chance it might mess something up. If I ever do a fresh install, I will move to IE6.

I'm always leary of upgrading IE - it bothers me that Microsoft always "updates" my operating system when it installs a new version of IE.

Same here. I've upgraded all my PCs here to IE5.5 with all the latest patches via the MS updater but havent done IE6 or DirectX 8.1 yet (another MS "thing" that still seems to scare me after previous bad experiences with it many years ago).
IE5.5 seems fine and IE6 runs on the XP unit but I'm not really noticing anything different about them.

This is 2nd time I use it.

No problems so far.

What, a perfect record !

Would you say that it's noticeably better than IE 5.5, worthy of the upgrade? I'd install it if I were convinced that it'd be better but newer is not always better in my world.

I upgraded to it and have no problems . But then again , I wasn't having any problems with 5.5 . you see , I'm nuts , and I'll install anything . If I don't reformat a couple times a month I get the shakes , have headaches . It gets ugly . So I make sure I screw my system up on a regular bases

Pretty funny indeed.

Ever wonder what would/wouldn't happen if we just left the PCs alone (IE: NOT "Abuse" them by always upgrading, DLing software and/or adding new software or hardware)?

and installed IE6 on 2 more PCs (main one and laptop now upgraded to Win2K Pro).
