Should I upgrade to IE7 or IE8
No.
I find it messes-up running of apps from server shares. Seems to change the OS in such a way that any app not in C: is regarded as being downloaded from the Internet.

If not, why install new software on your computer, with the attendant risks of unexpected side effects? I can understand getting a later version of something for new features, but I've never understood the desire to get a later version simply because it *is* a later version. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

Should I upgrade to IE7 or IE8
That's easy. Upgrade to IE 8. Not only does it provide you with
up-to-date features (that every other web browser has), IE 8 is substantially safer than IE 6. In fact, IE 6 is a definite security hazard. Whether or not you will have trouble with the upgrade depends entirely on how conscientious a computer user you are. If you're the type who prepares carefully in advance - as you should for any major software upgrade - your experience will be a walk in the park. There's plenty of great stuff in IE 8, and also some things about it that suck, but one thing you can be assured: You won't have any problems getting it to work properly. On the other hand, if you're like some people who post here, who do /not/ prepare in advance, and who don't spend the time to learn how to use their computers wisely, you're an accident waiting to happen, whether it's Internet Explorer or some other software. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Russell Ashenberg wrote: I am using Window XPSp3 and IE6 Sp3 on my machine.

Thanks to all the responses to my question on upgrade to IE7 or IE8. I am
going to go to IE8 since it has more enhancements and better fixed that IE7. Thanks to all the help and guidance. Russell A |
