Whistler incompatibility DO NOT install this build of Internet Explorer 6 over Windows XP! Doing so will cause your machine to fail and may not be reversible. If you are part of the Windows XP Beta program, you will receive new builds with the matching version of Internet Explorer appropriate for that Windows XP build. We want to guarantee a baseline experience and stability with Windows XP, so please do not install your Tech Beta build on it.
Cannot download with IE versions 2 to 3.02 If you are using any versions of Internet Explorer between and including IE2 and IE3.02, after you click "Download latest build," you will be presented with a scripting error and will not be able to download the bits.
Cannot download with Netscape If you are using Netscape 6 and click "Download latest build", you will get a dialog box asking you to submit information. After clicking "OK", nothing is submitted. This prevents you from downloading the bits.
