Microsoft Pulls IE 5.5, Upsets Support | |
|

In an effort to push adoption of IE 6.0, Microsoft quietly yanked Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 from its download site. Users running older versions of IE 5.5, which shipped with Windows Me, must upgrade to the latest browser release. Ironically, IE 5.01 SP2 is still available as it is primarily used by businesses running Windows 2000. Because business customers are less prone to upgrade, Microsoft tends to offer such fixes longer than it does for consumer customers. | ||

"Ironically, IE 5.01 SP2 is still available as it is primarily used by businesses running Windows 2000."
Nothing ironic about it at all. 5.01 was the LAST good version of MSIE that was fast, stable and bloat-free. Starting with 5.5 IE has been a slow, buggy pig. Especially 6.0. IMHO. TL |

| I just checked a couple of MoveableType bloging sites, and I didn't notice anything tremendously slow as far as IE6 rendering them. Same speed as Opera 7. |

#18 yes, you shouldn't need to if you're happy with 5.0. However, for all those who want a little more that what 5.0 offers (including cookie-control and closer HTML-compliancy), there is 6.0 out there for them. That's progress for you, all things can be made better so companies will always strive to make things even better.
Besides, 5.0 doesn't have Print Preview ;) |
