Default anyone installed ie 6.0 preview yet?

ok - I know it is way off topic, but since there appears to be a few programmers, etc in the owners group I was wondering if anyone had installed it yet?(internet explorer 6.0 preview). I'm usely all over this stuff but my cpu has been running so well with my current w2000 install. Any advice/comments would be appreciated. thanks

I did some months back. Have upgraded 3 times since the first IE 6 I installed. Formatting is strict I've notice on some web pages where what used to be left aligned is now center and stuff.

Has some cool features

Got IE 6 months ago with no problems. Will say that the IE6 that ships with WindowsXP (been running that for a while too on a different machine) is much nicer. Toolbars and formatting is much more consistent in the XP release. All in all it works.

The only problem that I have found with 6.0 is a number of secure sites, e.g., my bank will not let me access with 6.0 as y it is a beta

yesterday i upgraded my ie6 to latest release and all things went to hell.

the image toolbar pisses me off, as now basic image protection can be bypassed by normal fools who wouldn't have thought of looking in their cache files.

silly microsoft, tricks are for kids! i uninstalled
