IE 6 - Tried it?

[Azzuron]

IE 6.0 is out. Just happened to come out the same day i was repairing my HDD. Crazy pos managed to badsector a few of my registry hives! GR! Anyway I installed it. So far it seems pretty good. I havnt had any real problems that i can relate to it specificly! amazing for microsoft. Im running it on win2000Pro.

Just curious if anyone else has tried it out yet. =)

I have not personally tried it, I am keen to have a look though, so I may try it out on Win4Lin. From all reports, it rocks. Between Opera, Netscape/Mozilla and IE, there are many subtle differences between the browsers these days... vBulletin for instance appears to be tested mostly on IE and Netscape, and has therefore several issues when rendered with Opera. Phil and myself have taken vBulletin to task over this, so far with out much joy.

I know phil has installed IE6 recently, maybe he will comment. :D :D :D

I.E. 6.0 (http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,59928,00.asp)
In case anybody installed the beta first you may want to look at this.

It is very good, very quick and works well. It seems that it doesn't crash properly either....you just get this lovely message. (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/phil.harling/images/ie6.gif) It seems it doesn't want to play nice with AVX 6.1 (http://www.centralcommand.com) :(

It is my Virus Checker (Anti Virus eXpert)....IE crashes literally every 5 minutes when AVX is running :(

Hmmmm not for me (using IE5.5 SP2), when I was beta testing it the dam thing (use) to create a “hidden” .dat file the you could not delete or edit so everybody would know where you’ve been etc, but have fun guys and when something comes out that can deal with that .dat file I might give it a go!!

Sorry just paranoid about my privacy:rolleyes:

This board looks great in IE5 and Opera 5! Its looks horrible in netscape. I mean horrible... the fonts seem to be in bold and too large or too small, depending where they are on the screen and what parts of the page.
